Map as Metaphor2

111b.  Map as Metaphor 2 This is the second panel in a three-part series investigating how the map can be understood as a metaphor, both as material artifact and cultural object as well as an artistic tool. The series was organized by The Center for Book Arts and made possible through a grant by the New York Chapter of the American Painting History Association. Maps and atlases are an integral part of the history of the book as well as a physical and conceptual resource of book arts. This program of three panels features scholars, scientists, and artists who will explore questions about power, information, identity, economics, ecosystems, and culture.    Panel 2: "The Eco-Techno Map: Data and Online Initiatives"   Heidi Neilson, artist and founder of SP Weather Station Panelists: Liz Barry, urban designer, Co-Founder & Co-Director of TreeKIT, and Co-Founder and Director of Community Development at Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science Ingrid Burrington, artist-in-residence at Data and Society Research Institute and fellow at Autodesk/Pier 9's Experimental Research Lab Eric W.
