Geographic Information Systems & Cartography

It pairs writers with artists, architects, designers and collectives to address the role of the map as political agent (rather than neutral document).

A photograph of a secret CIA prison. A map designed to help readers reach Mailbu's notoriously inaccessible 'public' beaches. Guidebooks to factories, prisons and power plants in New York. An artificial reef fabricated from 500 tons of industrial waste. These are some of more than 100 projects in this groundbreaking collection of visual research and mapmaking from the past decade.
