Kartograph – Drawing new geographic data over the infrastructure of old

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Members Objects People Posted on:

Created by Quadrature (Jan Bernstein, Sebastian Neitsch and Juliane Götz), Kartograph is a sequel to the trio's exploration of devices that map real time data to cultural artefacts. Whereas their previous project Satelliten maps the movement of satellites in orbit on physical maps, Kartograph updates old maps by drawing new geographic data over the infrastructure of old times using the internet.

The selections of which data is mapped  is based on the location of the machine. The starting point are old atlases and maps that conceivably used to be the main source of knowledge for information regarding countries near or far. While their purpose is increasingly overtaken by online services like Google Maps or OpenStreetMap in the last three decades, the classic paper maps are already outdated the moment they get published. Digital map services on the other hand stay valid by simply updating themselves instantly.

Spirotrope – Stirling Engine powered Spirograph animation

Created by Witaya Junma. ‘Spirotrope’ is a device developed from the hypothesis that an interactive artwork can be created from unrelated objects in a way such that each object is still visible in its essence, whether in its form or its function. The criteria is that the viewer must experience this by interacting with the artwork directly.
