When Maps Shouldn't Be Maps | Matthew Ericson - ericson.net - 0 views

  •  
    "But sometimes the reflexive impulse to map the data can make you forget that showing the data in another form might answer other - and sometimes more important - questions. So, when should you use a form other than than a map?"

Dragons, Memory & Navigating the Globe Using Only Your Wits - Facts So Romantic - Nautilus - 1 views

  •  
    "But imagine for a moment that you didn't have to rely on maps to navigate the unknown-that your memory, instincts, and knowledge of the environment sufficed. This is the art of Polynesian wayfinding." The metaphor breaks down but I think it's close to navigation vs maps . . . skills & understanding vs step by step. One is a path to freedom- the other a kind of shackle masquerading . . .

App shows where women made history - BBC Newsbeat - 1 views

  •  
    "The creators of the Women on the Map app are concerned that females who have made significant achievements don't get honoured in the same way that men do. It's been included as part of Google's Field Trip app, which points out places of interest when you visit different areas. Users have to select the Women On The Map source within the Google app to get the alerts. Their phone will then buzz when they approach the exact location where a woman has done something extraordinary and they can then read all about her and her achievements."

Nikolaj Cyon - Artist presentation - 1 views

  •  
    "Hi, my name is Nikolaj Cyon and I am an artist from Sweden who has worked with precolonial Africa as a theme in my art for over a year. I have, as a mind experiment, made a map of what Africa could have looked like in the mid 19th century if Europe had never  become a colonizing world power. In order to do this I have tried to construct an alternative historical time-line in which Europe was much harder struck by the plague in the 1350's and never recovered. Therefore  African nations would have gotten the opportunity to flourish unhindered.

Letter: What We've Learned - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    "It's no accident that many of the most-read New York Times articles of the last few years have been complex takes on serious subjects in a form other than a traditional article: an explainer of the Ebola crisis, a photo essay on aging, a video on ISIS and, from us, the rent-vs.-buy calculator, a graphic on nonemployed men, a map on poverty and an interactive on generational politics."
