Stomping Ground

Multimedia Research Project

2013

Through a series of interviews, local residents reflect on childhood and adolescent memories of natural and manmade green spaces within Markham. These memories unfold as a series of anecdotal footnotes to both a time passed and a reflection of what the landscape is becoming. The final presentation takes multiple forms: a documentary, a Korsakow user-guided browser-based narrative of location stories, and printed guide maps. The footage is also accessible through the Land|Slide AR app. The app and maps act as walking tours, guiding users to hidden or little known sites revealed in the documentary.
