Fascinating intersection of mapping, sociology and art...

from the article:

A map of a different color: U professor’s interactive map of joy and
pain elicits strong emotions
By Rick Moore

On the surface (both literally and figuratively) Rebecca Krinke’s latest
public art piece is simply a giant laser-cut map of Minneapolis and St.
Paul. But once she added in two types of colored pencils—gold and
gray—and let local citizens color in their personal places of joy and
pain, it became something much more.
