Geospatial Art by Nikolas R. Schiller
With the world already charted and mapped, Geospatial Art was created for you to rediscover the world around all over again. While it’s not exactly postmodern art, my geographic designs deviate from traditional cartography because they will not orient one to the right path, rather they offer many paths and many views of a place at a specific time in history.
In the summer of 2004 I began experimenting with the creation of new means of projecting geospatial information in a 3-D environment. On a near-daily basis I created these unique maps and used my blog, titled “The Daily Render,” as a means to document this cartographic progression. In the course of the last few years I have reprojected much of urban America: downtown central business districts to state capitals to highway intersections to national monuments to myself & my home and these maps are cataloged by chronology, projection, and location below.
Most of my maps were rendered between 9,000 by 6,000 and 20,000 by 15,000 pixels, or roughly 50 to 300 megapixels, and can be printed extremely large. I recently created an on-line store where you can find most of my maps available for purchase up to 60″ by 40″ in size and on your choice of paper or canvas.
I also make custom maps, which are priced on projection, size, and labor.
Consult my current Price List if you are interested in obtaining a customized map.
