Christian Nold

Christian Nold has a library of artworks he has created but, my focus is on his emotion maps of Greenwich and San Francisco. The visuals on his work are quite amazing and a different way to present graphs, however there are great similarities between his work and Google earth were there are 3D models placed on an illustrated 2D surface. 

The following quote explains how he created them:

"The project was set up as a series of participatory workshops that invited people to borrow a Bio Mapping device and go for a walk. The device measures the wearer's Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), which is an indicator of emotional arousal in conjunction with their geographical location. The resulting maps encourage personal reflection on the complex relationship between us, our environment and our fellow citizens".

Here are some examples of his works
