A Land Beyond the Stars:
http://exhibits.museogalileo.it/waldseemuller/index.html "The website brings the map’s wealth of historical, technical, scientific and geographic data to a broader public. Interactive videos explain the sciences of cartography and astronomy and the state
of navigational and geographic knowledge during the time of Waldseemüller. Developed with materials from the Library of Congress and other libraries around the world, the name of the website stems from Waldseemüller’s use of a passage from Roman poet Virgil,
which can be found in the upper left corner of the 1507 map."
Mycity, Mysounds:
http://zkm.de/en/publication/mycity-mysounds “A mobile app developed by ZKM | Institute for Music and
Acoustics enabling users to explore acoustic characteristics and meanings of their city. Users can record sounds at real locations and place them on a sound map. With the app all those interested are given the opportunity to record – on-site in the city spaces
– the sounds, tones, noises and voices with their own Smartphone, and to connect these with the recording locations on a map. The tonal arrangement of public space is thereby continued in a virtual dimension.”

to Measure (M2M) is a new fashion video network that explores the culture of fashion through films, original programming, exclusive videos with top models, and runway shows from the world’s finest designers. “
