Few centuries after Madame de Scudéry’s famous “Carte du tendre” here is the most recent version of artistic detournement of maps for expressing ideas, emotions, perceptions and even recipes. Artists Christoph Niemann uses the now famous symbology of Google maps to represent multiple forms of journeys: From the humoristic trip of the eggs to the omelet; to the more political representation of the opposite directions taken by both main street and wall street. If the concept is not totally new, its recontextualization in the Google era is definitely original, funny and meaningful.
Thanks to Daniel Naud for pointing us to this project.
