Foundcity

This project brings together Found Magazine with Google maps.  The idea is interesting as a means of public archiving – but it seems to end at archiving.  The cultural desire to archive has seemed to have surpassed the desire to analyze or interpret.  I’d like to see projects like this that attempt to go beyond the archive and into interpretation.
