Blank Space: Exploring the Sublime Qualities of Urban Wilderness at the Former Fishing Harbour in Tallinn, Estonia

Anna-Liisa Unt; Penny Travlou; Simon Bell

Abstract The gradual relocation of industry and other related activities out of the core areas of cities often results in voids in the urban structure—spaces that are ‘left over’. These places—in transition between their past and future functions—are landscapes with no formal spatial arrangement or current use. Their state of limbo often allows for a variety of informal and spontaneous uses that may enrich the urban structure, albeit temporarily, with their diversity. However, they are usually shown as blank areas on city planning maps with a status of awaiting some future use: thus the space is considered to be empty. As a case study, the temporary in-between status of a disused and abandoned fishing harbour in Tallinn, Estonia, is documented, in order to present and discuss ways of analysing both positive and negative aspects of dereliction in a post-Soviet context. This blankness, the paper concludes, is an opportunity and a quality, not always a vice but in some cases a virtue and that the rich content of derelict places is worthy of consideration in city planning.

Augmented duality: overlapping a metaverse with the real world

Mark Wright; Henrik Ekeus; Richard Coyne; James Stewart; Penny Travlou; Robin Williams

The advent of metaverses provide exciting opportunities for augmented reality research. We have created a number of interactions between the metaverse Second Life and the real world. Camera phone image matching creates portals and triggers the metaverse to mimic real locations. Image processing, tracking, projection and 3D video sprites create varied possibilities for people and avatars to have presence in each others worlds. We argue that these multiform contacts and overlaps between multiple points in the real world and an extensive and distinct metaverse constitute a new class of augmented reality interaction. Such a system of multiple parallel social existences may point to a mass social networking phenomenon built on the overlapping of a metaverse with the real world which we call Augmented Duality.
