The mosaic is based on the July release, so I expect NASA will have something better for us soon.

Spaces & Illusions

October 9, 2015

My design for an children’s participatory exhibit titled Spaces & Illusions, which was  installed from 1976–1980, give or take a few months, at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art.

Its appearance here in a blog about a novel way to make world maps may appear incongruous until I offer that the process of designing and installing the exhibit presaged all the constant-scale natural boundary maps you find here.

Presaged in a cluelessly groping way, I admit, but some things take time to resolve themselves.

Under the Pages menu (on the right), a new cut’n’fold map of the asteroid Itokawa sneaks onto the blog.

Also (March edit), the beginnings of a cartographic exploration of Enceladus geology.

And (April edits) a poster recently presented at the Association of American Geographers annual meeting, as well as the start of a meteorological animation.

Further (Feb 2011 edit) a Ganymede foldable geology globe.

July 2012: Yo Brazil! Welcome to the site, grateful for the attention. Call me — we’ll do a special map for your 2016 Olympics.

January 2013: A new page! — Water Molecule. Scroll the menu on the right.

At a loss for words at the moment; must confess I’ve been absorbed in these patterns:
