Edgar González: "The inhabitable map. Mapping the world out there"

The language of cartography is buried so deeply in our mindset that it has become invisible. Nobody questions the idea of the blue line in the paper is a river. But, up to what extend the limits of contemporary geographic boundaries set us to map the territory? on paper? What if the confi nes of mapping have extended from the edges of the paper to the limits of our imagination? Since some time ago we live within a cartographic representation of the world that surround us ...evertheless maps are no longer just a visualization of physical frontiers.
