Else/Where: Mapping explores the importance of maps as aids to navigation, understanding, and cultural representation. Traditionally written by history’s victors, maps are gaining new currency in our information-saturated age as a means of making arguments and processes visible. Mapping technologies today are as diverse as the agendas driving them: the human body is mapped with 3-D software, buildings are mapped with lasers, and cities are mapped by satellite. Else/Where: Mapping proposes—by visual example and written analysis—that mapmaking is a fundamental design process, one that shapes the physical and conceptual dimensions of contemporary multicultural society. The authors explore how cartographic techniques are being adapted to map the emerging environments of electronic communication. See also: 'If/Then : Design Implications of New Media'
