This is the staging area for a trip down the Mississippi River from the headwaters in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, starting in August 2009. At the moment, we're envisioning a journey made by canoe, but that may change as plans take shape. A project that is developing out of this journey is called (for the moment) Archives of Exile: River Voices, and that project is the focus of the conversation that's happening on this blog. We warmly invite you to read and comment!

mapping
Bloody hell! I've just noticed there's something really interesting going on here with maps. Forgive me if this is obvious - I can be a bit slow :o) Quite a while ago, I posted this on mapping and transcription as analogous ways of capturing subjective experience, and then, when we began to talk about the Mississippi, you posted this on the soundmap of NOLA, which, incidentally, uses zeemap, the same technology I'm talking about here. I think we really need to pursue this - the idea that the journey could result in a kind of experiential map of the Mississippi seems extremely exciting to me (and, by the way, a great thing for a joint group of artists and academics to be thinking about...)
