hi list,
i've just published a video of my one hour Inclusiva-Net '08 keynote
'Cartofictions', with a paper of the same name to follow.
here's the abstract:
From the earliest world maps to Google Earth, cartography has been a
vital interface to the world. It guides our perceptions of what the
world is and steers our actions in it. As our knowledge about the
world has changed, so have maps with it (or so we like to think).
In this lecture Julian shows a darker side of map-making, covering
various reality-distorting effects innate to the graphic language of
cartography and how they can be easily exploited for gain..
In doing so Julian positions cartography as an abstract and
influentual creative practice, rich with the power to engineer
political views, religious ideas and even the material world itself.
here's the video:
