Hi there, I am on the AOIR list and I have developed a web based project which is intended to illustrate my PhD thesis and I'd really like to have AOIR members take a look at it: CARRIER HOTELS (work in progress) is a webproject which illustrates internet infrastructure focusing specially on connection points as a locus of control. This media work consists of a topographical image of North America upon which is situated images of major peering points called Carrier Hotels. Each Carrier Hotel is seen as a graphic of the exterior of the actual real estate. For example, a view of the front of the building at 151 Front Street Toronto, or an image of the tower at 1 Wilshire in Los Angeles. The interactivity so far, consists of clicking to see which facilities contained US based secret NSA (National Security Agency) eavesdropping rooms and which peering point facilities are owned by the Carlyle Group (CRG West), in an overall map of approximately 35 premiere Carrier Hotels located in major urban North American centres. Further developments are under consideration, such as initiating a trace route to view the path one's IP activities such as email, data searches or video viewing, takes through these peering facilities.
