Wonder Atlas - DÉIRDRE KELLY

Wonder Atlas

From palimpsest to hypertext: artists have literally and conceptually been ‘mapping’ the world, looking at the familiar in different ways, as new technologies have replaced the magical world of wonder encapsulated in hand-drawn maps and atlases of the past, reminding us of the human need and a desire for physical maps, now more than ever.
