Not often do we find ourselves simply browsing Google Maps. Usually there is always a particular reason behind it, mostly utilitarian impulse to satisfy our immediate need. What if Google Maps could be appreciated and visually enjoyed as pattern of colour and in-comprehensive complexity. What if our mind could just endlessly wander, enjoying the topography human and nature co-create.

Thanks to the Google Maps API, Kim Asendorf has created just that. Every refresh on maps. will generate a new configuration of colour and what is shown. Sometimes you will see just the landscape and rivers, other times cities and streets. Some maps do not show cities at all, others show the immense complexities cities are.
