James Bridle: Rorschmap

Yesterday, whilst looking on http://www.itsnicethat.com i came across this map made by James Bridle called 'rorschmap' which you can view at: http://rorschmap.com. Its like a looking through a kaleidoscope of google maps, he says, “Rorschmap is cartographic navel-gazing, a reframing of the map. It will not help you find anything. We are bored with your squares and your margins. We want new shapes and new dimensions….”
I love looking at where i live, seeing the patterns the map creates on the landscape as you zoom in or out. You can also view in street or satellite view. Heres some of Bath.






Zommed out

This certainly is re-creating a map into something different.
