Abstract:
Extending Giada Peterle’s concept of auto-cartography, this paper explores Tasmania’s complex and dynamic island identity through an interactive installation powered by a customised generative AI model. By collecting human experience as a training dataset, it reimagines mapping as an embodied, affective process that engages participants to reflect on their relations to place.
