A Synesthete’s Atlas: Cartographic Improvisations between Eric Theise and The Asthmatic
Real-time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital maps by Eric Theise in collaboration with The Asthmatic (Sigrid Harmon), a one-woman band and sound collage artist. A visual wash of street grids, land masses, water bodies, and curiosities from built and natural environments. Orphaned labels. Free-floating symbology. Saturated colors and the subtlest of tints. Jittery zooms, pans, and traversals. Glitches from crowdsourced data.

What interested me about the shot were the horizontals: train tracks, the water, the mountains, the sky. Very few verticals in it.
