Zeega

As part of this project the PITFs created Zeega (www.zeega.com). Zeega enables individuals and organizations to create nonlinear digital narratives that seamlessly combine photos, videos, text, audio and maps from public APIs.

 

 

 

Teaching Challenge:

Combining new media art practice with critical inquiry and ethnographic research, Boston and other sites served as laboratories for exploring different modes of representing place. Films, maps, sound recordings, videos, and other media artifacts were treated as archaeological objects and were re-interpreted for public exhibition online and in physical spaces.
