Maps

[air_ocean]

"Maps, per se, do not lie. However, as assemblages of signs, maps are like other texts, open to interpretation, contestation, refutation, exculpation; they are also simulations in search of a particular and sometimes false reality. They reflect multiple interests even when presented as accurate [...] or universal [...]."

James Der Derian, "The desert of the real and the simulacrum of war"
