Buckeye voters are being asked this November whether we want to change our process for drawing electoral boundaries. Mapmaking is a complicated process, and it could use a little untangling. Over the next five episodes, we'll untangle the history of redistricting, how to draw fair maps, how other states do redistricting, and let both sides of Issue 1 make their case.

Welcome to another episode of This is HCD. We chatted with Loren Baxter, a product designer at Felt, about their innovative mapping software. Felt aims to make map-making accessible to everyone, moving beyond just GIS experts. Loren shared how Felt simplifies the process of creating maps, making it easy for users to handle geospatial data and collaborate seamlessly. We discussed Felt's impactful role in disaster response and humanitarian efforts, showcasing how accessible mapping can make a real difference. Loren also explained the challenges government organisations face with specialised mapping and how Felt addresses these issues. We delved into the exciting potential of AI in enhancing mapping experiences and the design challenges of creating a product for both novices and experts. Loren highlighted Felt's free option for personal use, emphasising their commitment to accessibility. Overall, Felt is making significant strides in democratising map-making, and it was inspiring to hear about their journey and vision for the future. linkedin.com/in/lorenbaxter https://felt.com/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=hcd_podcast Become a member: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/circle-a-community-for-ethically-conscious-designers-changemakers Book a Coaching Chemistry Call: https://calendly.com/gerryscullion/coaching-chemistry-call

Send us a Text Message.If you've gone backcountry camping in an Ontario Provincial Park in the last dozen years or so, you've likely used a map made by Jeff. He joins us today to talk about how he got into map making, mistakes he found on "official" maps, some of the cool features he's integrated into his maps over the years, including a very cool new one in his latest Algonquin maps, and tells us a bit about his camping experiences - like a 31 day backcountry trip that involved horses!https://mapsbyjeff.com/https://www.facebook.com/mapsbyjeffhttps://www.instagram.com/maps.by.jeffhttps://twitter.com/mapsbyjeffjeff@mapsbyjeff.comSupport the Show.CONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

Texas Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez talks about why he thinks President Biden is not doing enough to stop the flow of migrants into the country. And, Cameroon became the first country in Africa to launch a new vaccine campaign to inoculate hundreds of thousands of children against the deadly disease. Malaria killed more than 600,000 people across the world in 2022. The vast majority of those deaths occurred in Africa in children under the age of 5. STAT's Andrew Joseph tells us more. Then, to avoid gerrymandering, 22 states have some kind of independent commission to handle map drawing every ten years. But a new investigation from ProPublica has some insight into how politics can corrupt nominally nonpartisan mapmaking. ProPublica's Marilyn Thompson joins us.

After the recent State Supreme Court ruling it's time to submit new maps.

In her acclaimed films Joanna Hogg blurs the lines between her art and her life. As she releases her first ghost story film, The Eternal Daughter - an exploration of a mother and daughter relationship with Tilda Swinton playing both roles, she talks to Antonia Quirke about the craft involved in making art inspired by her life. Satellite imagery might make maps today more accurate, but we haven't stopped wanting to see creative, imaginative maps that are also about story telling, from illustrations in books to mapping out fantasy worlds. Antonia meets two contemporary map makers: Jamie Whyte who creates illustrative maps and Luke Casper Pearson who maps the virtual worlds in computer games. Artist Ghislaine Leung who's been shortlisted for this year's Turner Prize uses a “score” – similar to musical scores – to create a relationship with those who help to construct her work in galleries. Re-using discarded objects and highlighting her conflicting demands as both artist and mother are central to her work. Her work can be seen at the Towner Eastbourne, and the winner of the prize will be announced in December.

Wes Plate runs long, and I mean really long distances. In many ways I can't even wrap my head around days of running on end, but I do understand and marvel at the motivation and the story telling through creative route creation. His latest project of running 200 miles around the Puget Sound in Western Washington is both equally mind-blowing and inspiring. Wes also shares some news on his race directing debut at the Copper Kings 100 in Montana, slated of the summer of 2024.

Oliver and Tom are here to attempt something different! Worldbuilding and Hex Map-Making for Cacastia - the world that the Cabincast Pathfinder game will eventually take place in! This one is a bit all over the place, kind of an explanation of what we are doing and some examples of what we have done already!  

"Mapping the world is really an infinite exercise. We're on this journey to create this digital representation of the physical world - buildings, places, things, everything. This is going to be very critical. And that extra precision, that greater resolution as we support businesses to comply with all sorts of things - be it even new regulations ... And then of course, the other key trend is the ongoing rise of AI and automation. And as you have better insights and location, that will support better optimization of supply chains and those smart cities and all sort of stuff that will lean on location technology." - Jason Jameson   Fresh out of the studio, Jason Jameson, general manager, and senior vice president for Asia Pacific in HERE Technologies discussed the company's focus to broaden the location intelligence across the Asia Pacific and talked about the key trends in the digital map-making space. We start off with Jason's background from IBM to HERE Technologies and then dive deep into the current developments in the region. Last but not least, he shares where the digital map-making industry will be heading and how it will impact autonomous driving and smart cities in the future.

Rethinking tradition through the constraints of time and perspective.Human beings have temporal constraints. We die. Within our finitude, mortality, aging, and the vast population of history, we should have a proper sense of proportion.Human beings also have mental constraints. We only have our perspective. We only know the world through what it is like to us (qualia). As a part of society and history, we have to decide how we will use the vastness of the world within our limitations. Taking a cue from "The Fiddler on the Roof," we should see that tradition is alive and the past can help us transcend these limitations.Use tradition by replicating the process we've inherited not just replicating the content of the past.

Do you ever get tired of trying, tired of not achieving expectations, and tempted to give up and away from your problems?  People and expectations can be tough to deal with and even Jedi Master Luke Skywalker gives into those feelings, running away to a hidden island to escape his past and the pain it brings.  And yet, he hides a map so that others might find him.  In our finale to the Map Making series, we pull apart Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens and seek to understand why we as humans might recede away from our problems, but tend to leave a map to the island we are hiding on. Spoilers: deep down we want to be found.

Cartography has a troubled history as a technology of power. The production and distribution of maps, often understood to be ideological representations that support the interests of their developers, have served as tools of colonization, imperialism, and global development, advancing Western notions of space and place at the expense of indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities. But over the past two decades, these marginalized populations have increasingly turned to participatory mapping practices to develop new, innovative maps that reassert local concepts of place and space, thus harnessing the power of cartography in their struggles for justice.  In twelve essays written by community leaders, activists, and scholars, Radical Cartographies: Participatory Mapmaking from Latin America (U Texas Press, 2020) critically explores the ways in which participatory mapping is being used by indigenous, Afro-descendant, and other traditional groups in Latin America to preserve their territories and cultural identities. Through this pioneering volume, Bjørn Sletto, Joe Bryan, Alfredo Wagner, and Charles Hale fundamentally rethink the role of maps, with significant lessons for marginalized communities across the globe, and launch a unique dialogue about the radical edge of a new social cartography.

In this episode we are joined by https://www.croppro.ca/brad-dunnington (Brad Dunnington) of https://www.swatmaps.com/croptimistic (Croptimistic Technology). Brad was the first employee when he joined the company in 2008 and is now the SWAT MAPS manager based remotely in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Brad processes raw data from a SWAT BOX into SWAT MAPS for an agronomist to ground truth, and then use for soil sampling. This then becomes a prescription file or controller file for a farmer to apply variable rate products in their field. We explore how data collected in the field becomes a useful map for farmers and agronomists and what it took to develop this product over the years, to what it is today. “The SWAT MAPS we make now are far superior to what we used to make.

Metaphoric thinking is fundamental to our understanding of the world. It is by likening one thing we understand to something else which we might not quite understand that we learn about the world. This makes us active participants in the creation of the world. Along the Way we have called this Map Making. They are never perfect but they do illuminate the world.The best metaphores, or in fact all metaphores, are dynamic and goes both ways. If we say someone is like a mountain, then it's not only the person which takes on mountain characteristics, the mountain is also coloured by the human. We learn about both by looking at them with the intent of seeing what each has in common with the other, or the ways which they are the same.When I first started to imagine a way to illustrate the pillars of Showmanship (Showman, Audience, Show and Attention) I landed on a triangle. This has one immidiate shortcomming, as it has three points and the pillars of Showmanship is four. The serendipitous thing about this though was that through exploring the nature of a triangles and what geometry has to tell us about them, I realised that I had landed on a very fruitful metaphore. In this episode we focus mainly on the triangle as a symbol for the process of Showmanship, and next week we shall look into how I found the fourth pillar could be beautifully illustrated in the triangle.Support:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/captainfrodoContact me:Thewayoftheshowman@gmail.com
