Counter Mapping

Counter the narrow vision of space instead of countering with an equally narrow vision of space. Is the counter an offering of the multiplicity of layers and the inventory of spatiality its own commentary on the narrow? Perhaps.


Here are some examples of some different counter mapping projects. Athens could explore its own cartographic imagination and come up with something. Any suggestions?

One favorite is the Counter Cartographies Collective (3Cs) 'disOrientation Guide' to the University of North Carolina. I wonder if something similar could be done for Ohio U?
