Augmenting for Accessible Environments: Layering Deep Mapping, Deep Accessibility, and Community Literacy

Leah Heilig ; Ally Overbay ; Madison Jones ; Taylor Roberts

Abstract

This article reports on lessons learned from the first phase of an ongoing multimodal project aimed at promoting digital and environmental literacy in concert with access and accessibility on our university's main campus. We discuss an emerging, student-led locative media project, built to increase engagement with the North Woods, an approximately 300 acre parcel of unmanaged forests and wetlands on the north part of our campus. By layering together deep mapping and accessibility, this project intervenes in the binaries between art and science and nature and technology, with a strong focus on how digital, environmental, and community literacy can contribute to more accessible experiences.
