Geospatial Art by Nikolas R. Schiller<\/font>
\nWith the world already charted and mapped, Geospatial Art was created for you to rediscover the world around you all over again. While it’s not exactly postmodern art<\/a>, these maps deviate from traditional cartography because they will not orient one to the right path, rather they offer many paths & many views of a specific place taken at a specific time in history.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2004 I began experimenting with new methods of projecting geospatial information in a 3-D environment. On a near-daily basis, I created these unique maps out of public domain orthophotography<\/a> and used my blog, titled “The Daily Render,” as a means to document this cartographic progression. Over the course of the last few years I have reprojected much of urban America; from 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 on this website.<\/p>\n

As a map maker, I can also make custom maps, which are priced on projection, size, and labor. Please email me @ cartography at nikolaschiller dot com<\/strong> with your cartographic questions & requests!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Below is a comprehensive listing of my maps by name, location, and projection.<\/strong><\/p>\n
