These images are reorganized maps from a favorite blog (things organized neatly.) Looking at the right hand side, re-arranged in line information reminds me of Edward Tufte; the brilliant teacher/thinker/statistic seeker. Introduced to his work by my dad, I bought Tufte’s Envisioning Information while working on my BFA and began seeing connections between the way information (such as a map that has been created long before you experience a city) will influence the way you walk, and consequently, live in this city. Information’s organization changes the world, and how we experience it.   Most sites, blogs, and the web in general have this same feeling for me — we are expected to walk a certain street, for a prescribed length of time, and in another persons font. Or color. And layout. One part visual, one part organized thinker, I often synthesize double forms of the same information and put out in the world — especially at work. Looking at the above twin images but focusing on neither, my mind tells me I can somehow make sense of this complex data - that I can see the unseeable pattern — or make a third non-map to wander to.
