[Art_beyond_sight_theory_and_research] New Exhibition Explores the Tactile Connection We Get From Printed Maps

[Lisa Yayla]

Hi,

The first links about maps are perhaps a bit off subject but thought the ideas behind the exhibit was very interesting "physical maps have all but disappeared from most of our lives, displaced by the soothing voice of a GPS lady". Just interesting the idea of maps and the tactile nature of them.

Regards,

Lisa

Over the past few years, physical maps have all but disappeared from most of our lives, displaced by the soothing voice of a GPS lady who tells you when to turn and when you'll get there.
