Cartographic Regression

January 30, 2012 by Fosco Lucarelli 3 Comments

Here’s how the territory of Palestine has shrinked and borders have fragmented from 1917 to present day. A cartographic essay on GOOD.
Thanks, Ethel, as usual.

    Excellent example of how the selective use of information can tell a story which so false and propaganda-heavy!

    I get the impression that this time lapse map might lead to confusion. There should be a more detailed description on the condition of the ”borders” here depicted, and the notion of ”occupied” territory.

    here where logic and illogic come one by a mazy brghit blur of light in darkness,we come by the weight of certain glories(all rat runs and territorial pissings)with secret purposes we etch the shape of meaning..by saying..by being..nothing at all..and why not..let us be fools before everyone,for in the turn of the sky the only sign worthwhile,the only scratching..is the scratching of communication..’ I like your sight,jester.
