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, exhibitions
and installations provided a forum for appreciating the endeavors of artists and
cartographers and their representations of geography.
