PROXY florence friends and collaborators please feel free to share with your friends your collective story of Florence by sharing these videos (under video tab): "500 images of Florence - a collective story", and "The making of PROXY Florence in Florence".
PROXY florence just posted the video featuring each individual image submitted. The video was composed as a scan through the city. The images are beautiful and composed of photos, drawings and stories! The video was edited by Brian Miele and sound composed by Charlie Bryant! Thanks!!!

PROXY Florence is a dynamic map and a collective story of Florence created through the interplay of virtual space and physical space and the interaction of 500 collaborators from 27 countries. This video presents the individual images of Florence submitted by 500 people and organized as a visual scan through the city a...nd timed according to the density of images in each particular area of the city.
These images were originally presented as a three dimensional map in Florence, Italy as PROXY Florence. The focus of PROXY 1.0 was [43°46’22”N - 11°15’27”E] from July 9 - 17, 2009 when exhibited at the Beyond Media 2009 Festival, Visions.
The project used facebook to connect and collaborate with the 500 participants as well as with volunteers who translated the call for images into 18 languages. The project used Google Panoramio’s interface to collect and organize the individual images of Florence captured, envisioned, or remembered by each of the 500 contributors from across the globe precisely by their coordinate data at their origin in Florence. Variable Data Printing was used to convert the individual images collected into 500 unique, tangible postcards that were mapped precisely according to the image’s remembered or imagined location as a scale down version of this city, at Stazione Leopolda.
The visitors of the event were invited to dismantle the exhibit by removing the postcard of their choice. By taking a postcard, mailing to a friend, the cycle is continued. PROXY Florence is mapping the route of the image and connecting the recipient of the postcard with the origin of the photo and its taker. Thanks for participating! Thanks also to our sponsors and to everyone who worked on this project!!!

PROXY Florence is a dynamic map and a collective story of Florence created through the interplay of virtual space and physical space and the interaction of 500 collaborators from 27 countries.
The project used facebook to connect and collaborate. It used Google Panoramio’s interface to collect and organize the individu...al images of Florence captured, envisioned, or remembered by each of the 500 contributors from across the globe. PROXY Florence used Variable Data Printing to convert the individual images collected into 500 unique, tangible postcards that were organized spatially by their coordinate data.
These images were mapped according to the image’s remembered or imagined location. These numerous images were returned to their origin in Florence, Italy and specifically, as a scale down version of this city, at Stazione Leopolda, the space of the exhibition. The focus of PROXY 1.0 was [43°46’22”N - 11°15’27”E] from July 9 - 17. PROXY Florence was exhibited at the Beyond Media 2009 Festival, Visions in Florence, Italy from July 9th to 17th.
The visitors of this event were invited to dismantle the exhibit by removing the postcard of their choice. By taking a postcard, mailing to a friend, the cycle is continued.
