Summary:

"This anthology brings together an international roster of writers, artists and designers at the forefront of locative media practice, and assembles archival and digital maps - from a 16th-Century woodcut to a specially commissioned GPS drawing along the Greenwich Meridian - to explore how cartographic techniques are being adapted to map the emerging environments of electronic communication."--Jacket.
