THE ART OF EXPLORING WITH A MAP
“Paper maps are declining due to digital apps and devices such as satnavs and mobile phones as we don’t engage with our environment or surroundings anymore” As we gradually shift from the use of printed maps to electronic satellite navigation systems, we have also lost touch with our environment and our surroundings. Reading printed maps seems like a skill of the past for some people but it is an accomplishment that brings enjoyment and adventure to exploring. This exhibit comprises film and printed Ordnance Survey map to convey, the enjoyment and accomplishment of finding your way, and perhaps losing your way whilst exploring with the help of the printed map.
