Preface
This book is the fruition of work from contributors to the Art and Cartography:
Cartography and Art symposium held in Vienna in February 2008. This meeting
brought together cartographers who were interested in the design and aesthetics
elements of cartography and artists who use maps as the basis for their art or who
incorporate place and space in their expressions.
The outcome of bringing together these like minds culminated in a wonderful
event, spanning three evenings and two days in the Austrian capital. Papers, exhibi-
tions and installations provided a forum for appreciating the endeavors of artists and
cartographers and their representations of geography.
As well as indulging in an expansive and expressive occasion attendees were
able to refl ect on their own work and discuss similar elements in each other’s work.
It also allowed cartographers and artists to discuss the potential for collaboration in
future research and development.
To recognise the signifi cance of this event, paper authors were invited to further
develop their work and contribute chapters to this book. We believe that this book
marks both a signifi cant occasion in Vienna and a starting point for future collabora-
tive efforts between artists and cartographers.
The editors would like to acknowledge the work of Manuela Schmidt and Felix
Ortag, who undertook the task of the design and layout of the chapters.
