I think that you might be interested in discovering my art on geographic abstraction.

Based on feelings or memories, my work process delves into the complex undercurrents of intimate and collective networks.

It also leads to the interconnections between the human and the non-human. The blurry boundary between perception and experience always inspired me: I am involved in the randomness of emotion into art by imaging abstract visuals based on the subconscious.

Exploring forms and lines in my map compositions, I form disaggregated grids and imaginary topographies exploring social tensions affecting the human behavior, instead of addresses and landmarks.

Hi Robert: I made up the word, having found “cacoethes” in the thesaurus and adding carto to it.

A scan of the map can be downloaded at the link on the blog posting or download here. That is the highest resolution available, unless you want to find an original copy of the Harper’s issue the map was published in and scan yourself.

This picture is an incredibly unique way of looking at Manhattan in a retro context: https://makingmaps.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/tenement_smaller_smaller.jpg

I would be extremely interested in getting a larger jpg of this map, but not sure how I would go about doing that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Chris: that map is out of an old periodical, the Christian Union. That journal is long out of copyright, and I checked Google Books and they have many issues reproduced in full – that means they could not find anyone who renewed the copyright. That said, you should be safe to use the map (at most, indicate the original source). Hope that helps,

John K.
