Space, Place, and New Ecologies
To read this response you need to open the Prezi below. The titles on the text boxes are meant to refer first to the underlying photograph, which I took on the Stoll Trail on Isle Royale, a national park in Lake Superior. In the text, I consider how all spaces—both real and virtual—become places as the beings and forces in ecologies interact over time. The text boxes can be read in any order, and they reference each other. To read a text box or to enlarge an accompanying image, click on it. To go back to the overview, click outside the box or image.
