PUBLIC MARKS with tags cartographie & papier

I arrived at college in 1984 with my electric typewriter and a bit of BASIC learned in high school. I was a geography major, and learned to make maps in a cartography lab with vellum, ink, light tables, X-acto knives, and rub-on letters.

While bearing traces of the original form, I deconstruct maps to create new geographies, suggesting the potential for a broader landscape.

Dans le même ordre d'idées, je recommande le vieil article de 2002 « The social life of paper »

Il y a une facilité dans l'annotation et l'ubiquité du papier mais également une liberté de narration.

Également le site Hand Drawn maps, une mine de cartes annotées. http://www.handmaps.org/

Et finalement walking papers qui permet d'annoter une carte papier d'openstreetmap afin de la rééditer sur le site en numérique et ainsi d'accroître la participation.

Deux petites anecdotes carioca vont en ce sens et suggèrent le rôle de la spontanéité et de la facilité d'annoter le papier ou la carte papier.

If you fold up the map from its fully open state above, it tells a kind of story

By removing the unnecessary, this New York City map-cut reveals the “paths, nodes, circles, boulevards, parks and streets” of the greatest city in the world.

MAP (Manual of Architectural Possibilities) is a publication of research and visions; research into territories, which can be concrete or abstract, but always put into question. Map is not a magazine (it only has two pages) and is not a book (it is issued twice a year). Map presents itself as a folded poster (A1) where information is immediate, dense and objective in one side, and architectural and subjective on the other. Map is a guide to potential actions in the built environment, a folded encyclopedia of the possible, a topography of ideas, or a poster on the wall.

Print maps, draw on them, scan them back in and help OpenStreetMap improve its coverage of local points of interests and street detail.

* These are not all of the world's subway systems. If you have access to city maps to scale that cover the full extent of an unillustrated city's subway, send one to subway(a)fakeisthenewreal.org. Do not bother sending diagrams.

Despite geek sensibilities, it turns out a paper map serves better than a digital one.
