Vintage globes, reimagined.

Christopher Niemann’s series of maps are clever, sometimes painfully accurate spoofs of the everyday.

I wonder how many licks it’d take to get to Tahiti…

My friend Joe is fascinated with maps, but frustrated by the limitations of their edges. His solution? A continuous, global city:

Collage is a way to bring some vibrancy back to idea of maps. Piecing together scraps of urban fabric is a hunt for new points of continuity and activation. This creative combination doesn’t really play well with borders, and I found that by working on a sphere instead of a plane, I could create an endless collage. After all, a global city has no borders.
