Emotional Mapping of Cities



Christian Nold has been working on a cartography project. He has been making emotional maps for three years. He has mapped many places like Sienna, Italy, Munich, Germany, and San Francisco. Christian Nold recruits volunteers and asks them to roam around the neighborhoods for more than an hour. When the volunteers come back, Christian Nod attaches a lie detector to each volunteer and asks them what they saw. The lie detectors help Christian Nod determine what each volunteer is feeling while talking about the neighborhood they went to. Christian Nod downloads the emotional maps to his web site. CNN
