Oct 31, 2009: Cut Paper Maps
Neatorama points to these cut paper maps of NYC, at Jailbreak.

I'm thinking they must use a laser, or something, because making all those cuts by hand... without screwing up... would be mind boggling... and much more than $550. Quote:

Tedious Art
Another words art for tedious' sake, since it has no other saving grace. |

Some relationships might benefit from a map you're not able to fold, or read.
(Incidentally, when you get a degree in Geography, you really do have instruction on how to re-fold a map properly. Doing so, I was pointing out to my classmates, "Come on, you know retarded kids are folding these maps in sheltered workshops (aka therapeutic sweatshop)all across the Commonwealth, you can do better than that."

Art isn't defined as "what you think is purty." There is no definition, really, that is agreed upon. This is why it's called 'art' and not 'science.' Quote:
I remember my first art history class in college. "Those colored squares? You could do that? Well you didn't, not first, anyway." I think those maps are neato-keen.

To quote the wisdom of Red Green, "If I can do it, it's not art." I agree with him, therefore, this is art.

Spuck called it art, not Studio K that created it.
Her schtick is craft, making unusual and high class printed materials, invitations, announcements, stationary, and such. But I think it's purdy. It would look great hanging on a large wall, or that design etched into a large window. @Clodfobble, I saw a video of that guy. They took him for a helicopter ride in Rome, then put him in a studio with a canvas about 25 ft wide. He drew a 360 degree view of Rome, with all the buildings that could be seen from one point. He got it right,too. Accurate down to how many lights of glass in every fucking window... incredible.

Or in a place where it moved in the breeze.
