reseach & findings

Research

After researching different sites and locations in Auckland City where posters were pasted, I realised that it would have been far too impractical and is rather a constraint to map these places successfully in the time period till the exhibition. Therefore, I decided that instead of mapping all different places with the posters, it would be a better idea to focus on a set number of sites and visit them every day to note the changes that occur over the data-collection period.

Findings

In general, posters across the four locations surveyed were changed approximately every week. Some posters which advertised events or album releases sometimes stayed on for longer. Many of the same posters were on all of the four sites, and perhaps show that for a more comprehensive sample of the events/exhibitions/concerts, etc. that were happening, it would be more interesting to sample these posters in a wider range of areas.

Over the course of 20 days, there were 77 different posters in total across the four sites. An example of these genres of posters are shown in the following posts…
