"ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING "charts the ascendancy of mapping as a
powerful interdisciplinary strategy, one that links people and
places, data and organizations, and physical and virtual
environments. Traditionally written by history's victors, maps are
gaining new currency in our information-saturated age as a means of
making arguments and processes visible. Mapping technologies today
are as diverse as the agendas driving them: social networks are
mapped with dynamic digital interfaces; buildings are mapped with
lasers; cities and regions are mapped by satellite.
Illustrated with nearly 300 images, from archival woodcuts to
Web-based maps and GPS drawings, "ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING" explores how
cartographic techniques are being adapted to map the emerging
landscapes of electronic communication. It showcases cutting-edge
projects in graphic and industrial design, art, architecture, and
technology by an international roster of writers, artists, and
designers at the forefront of locative media practice. "
ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING" proposes--by visual example and written
analysis--that mapping is a fundamental design process that
increasingly shapes the physical and conceptual dimensions of
contemporary society.
Deborah Littlejohn (designer) is design fellow at the University of
Minnesota Design Institute.
