Abstract

This paper explores the idea of ‘surface’ as a way to define the new landscape in place-making process. It examines how the new landscape could be generated regarding the virtual space of social media. The idea of ‘surface’ is explored through a case study in Twitter social media by analyzing the visual tracking of position based on specific texts, using Twitonomy database application. In this analysis, we investigate the tweet traffic of people's tweets, retweets, replies, mentions, and hashtags on specific topics leading to particular position of pinpoints concerning those topics. We trace the spatial distribution of individual texts about particular words. Through spatial mapping of those texts, we could curate the new landscape as a platform that visualizes the spatial network based on texts. Through this process, we could extract various possibilities of place-making in everyday life that becomes intertwine between the real and virtual space.
