As you already know, I like online mapping and clever visualizations. Just today, I stumbled upon the work of illustrator Christoph Niemann who combines both. His series “My Way” makes fun of today’s ubiquity of mapping services like Google Maps.
“My Way” is published as part of Christoph’s “Abstract City” blog for The New York Times.
Other series include “The Boys and the Subway”, “Bathroom Art”, “My Life With Cables” and “Bio-diversity”.
My favorite, “Over the Wall”, which tells the story of the Berlin Wall, reminded me of a paper braiding technique I was just about to forget. Which leads me to the fact that I got used to (something like) pixels even before I got a computer…
