Abstract
Direct manipulations of cartographic space for expressive cartographies
Highlights
1. stretching space 2. tearing space 3. algorithmic expansions of space These functions work by overlaying a user-defined grid over the map, which can be directly manipulated with the mouse
Creative engagements with cartography often benefit from fluid and dynamic understandings of space. Like those used in mental mapping projects, and art that uses torn, collaged, and sculpted print maps break with the rigid confines of mathematically projected space
Geographic information systems (GIS), largely confine users to a narrow Euclidean conception of projected space. For those who wish to incorporate digitized geographic information into their projects, GIS often becomes a necessity, which limits the ability to engage that geographic information with more fluid and expressive understandings of space
Summary
1. stretching space 2. tearing space 3. algorithmic expansions of space These functions work by overlaying a user-defined grid over the map, which can be directly manipulated with the mouse (see Figure 1).
