Abstract

Creative geographic visualization is situated at the intersection of geography, arts, and digital humanities. It emphasizes forms of visualization and mapping that preserve, represent, and generate more authentic, contextual, and nuanced meanings of space and the people that inhabit space—using specifically artistic and humanistic perspectives and approaches. Creative geographic visualization is an expansion of critical and qualitative GIS practices, and a new alternative to historically science-rooted approaches to GIS and mapping (Cope and Elwood 2009; Hawkins 2017; Schuurman 2000). This presentation is partly a theoretical and practical reflection on the idea of mapping haunted data and happy place and partly an account of an ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration between an urban geographer who has an interest in qualitative possibilities of GIS and an arts scholar who specializes in thinking about digital culture and creative practice. The goal is to create space for re-imagining where and how mapping and GIS are practiced—a critical and creative engagement of/with GIS and geovisualization.
