WHERE/ABOUTS


Mapping has emerged in the information age as a means to make the complex accessible, the hidden visible, the unmappable mappable. As we struggle to steer through the torrent of data unleashed by the Internet, and to situate ourselves in a world in which commerce and community have been redefined in terms of networks, mapping has become a way of making sense of things. (E/W, p12)

ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING - New Cartographies of Networks and Territories explores the ascendancy of mapping as an interdisciplinary strategy, one that connects people and places, data and organizations, and physical and virtual spaces.

Edited by Janet Abrams and Peter Hall, and designed by Deborah Littlejohn, the book is conceptually organized into four sections that explore, in turn, the mapping of
Networks, Conversations, Territories and Mapping itself. Each section includes critical essays, reportage, and Q&A interviews, interspersed with a "gazetteer" of full-color images.
