I was asked to write something about my cartography-as-expanded-cinema practice for the Visual Fields section of *Cartographic Perspectives, *the journal of the North American Cartographic Information Society. I'm a slow & unsure writer and am relieved that my article, "A Synesthete's Atlas: Real Time Cartography in Performance" was finally published last week alongside a wide range of other map-related articles. Issue 103. html & pdf. Open access.
https://doi.org/10.14714/CP103.1921 I was pleased–& hope Frameworkers will be, too–that Jim Thatcher, the journal's editor, wrote in the issue's introduction that " While the technical side and developments behind Theise’s performance are fascinating, I was personally struck by the influence of experimental film on the project; a connection I had previously not made, perhaps to my own detriment. " & I'm doubly-pleased to see an article in a map journal that's illustrated with images of work by Ernie Gehr, Robert Breer, & Paul Sharits. There's a sequence from Paul Glabicki's Film-Wipe-Film that runs over multiple pages. I'll be writing today and tomorrow to everyone who helped me pull this off but for now will send a group thank; you know who you are. I'll be speaking about my practice at the Royal Geographical Society meeting in London at the end of August, and at EuroCarto in Vienna mid-September; I'll be in residence at AGA Lab (screenprinting maps) in Amsterdam throughout September and October. I plan to arrive in the UK well in advance of my talk, and hope to pass through Brussels and Germany after my time in the Netherlands. I would be thrilled to hear from any European Frameworkers in a position to host a performance in those countries. I've given ~30 North American performances since the 2022 Lisbon premiere and I'm looking forward to performing again on that side of the Atlantic. Thanks for reading. Eric
