Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper outlines a collaborative project between a group of Fine Art and Geography students who helped develop and contribute to a conversation about recording ‘place’. Introducing methodologies from both disciplines, the project started from the premise of all environmental ‘recordings’ being ‘inputs’ and so questioned what could be defined as ‘data’ when encountering a location. Brunel’s Grand Entrance to the Thames Tunnel (London) provided the motivation for 10 objective and subjective ‘recordings’ which were subsequently distilled into a smaller subset and then used to produce a short film that was presented at an international conference. Important to the collaborative nature of the project were ongoing opportunities to share equipment, techniques, material and references across disciplines. It was an experiment to measure the potential for ‘mapping’ to capture physical and historical information, as well as embodied experience.

Different academic disciplines have a range of methods and techniques that are commonly used to investigate phenomena
This paper presents the outcomes of a project combining Fine Art and Geography students from Kingston University who collaborated on an investigation of a geographical ‘place’
The ‘readings’ devised by the Fine Art and Geography students were undertaken during this time, with students and staff working individually or in small groups to collect the range of different data sources during intense and focused activity
Summary
Different academic disciplines have a range of methods and techniques that are commonly used to investigate phenomena. Computer science research within the area of computer vision led to the development of a three-dimensional (3D) modelling technique known as ‘Structure from Motion’ (Snavely, Seitz, & Szeliski, 2008). This has since been extensively applied within the geosciences to generate digital models of the landscape (James & Robson, 2012; Javernick, Brasington, & Caruso, 2014; Westoby, Brasington, Glasser, Hambrey, & Reynolds, 2012)
