"Home" By Michael Christian ~ Burning Man 2010 ~ Metropolis

"Maps are the universal medium for communication, easily understood and appreciated in all languages and cultures. Every culture in the world uses and makes maps in some form or another. They have evolved from Babylonian clay tablets to satellite imagery visible to anyone access to the internet. It is this present technology that makes possible my effort to create dense and complex textured surface designs that incorporate city maps from around the world - from heavily structured grid formations of planned cities to the medina's of Fez. All these woven into one another to create a dense compacted moment and place in time like any good map would do. " Michael Christian
