Final project : Digital Print – Maps

So here are a few pictures from tonight’s presentation of my final project : a 14×12 (feet) map mashup of several maps put together (including San Francisco Bay Area, NYC subway, geological map of Brazil, Vienna tramway system, Princeton campus, London, etc.). It is composed of 140 sheets of 8.5×11 + all the tape needed to hold it. Some of the key concepts :

- collapse of space
- urban planning
- visual representation
- pixels vs vectors 
- depiction of a map as a cheap, low-tech object
- portability
