Cartography of Excess : a map was a flat, rule-governed space for a strict social game; but it also was an open territory for imaginary play... And one begins to wonder: where are the artist-cartographers of today?

MANIFESTO © l970 Agnes Denes
working with a paradox
defining the elusive
visualizing the invisible
communicating the incommunicable
not accepting the limitations society has accepted
seeing in new ways
living for a fraction of a second and penetrating light years
using intellect and instinct to achieve intuition
achieving total self-consciousness and self-awareness
being creatively obsessive
questioning, reasoning, analyzing, dissecting and re-examining
understanding the finitude of human existence and still striving to create beauty and provocative reasoning
finding new concepts, recognizing new patterns
desiring to know the importance or insignificance of existence
seeing reality and still being able to dream
persisting in the eternal search


Where does new love dwell? A scientific map

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them

(Definition) 'Cartifact' : term used to describe objects using a cartographic motiff primarily for design rather than to convey information. An ashtray with a map of the London Underground would be an example: you might use it to get around, but the main purpose of the object is to hold ashes. The term is a portmanteau combining "cartographic" and "artifact." Technically, any map is a cartographic artifact, but the portmanteau term is used for those objects with maps as design. - Definition in context Via
