Each Manhattan tourist map contains 100 plastic coated lenses per inch. Under each tiny lens lie three separate images containing geographic data. These data layers are sliced and stacked on top of one another making each slice just 1/300th of an inch wide. That’s small enough for the Dynamap (http://www.urbanmapping.com/ ) to play subtle tricks on a viewer’s eye ( The viewer thinks she sees multiple layers of information, almost like a hologram; by rotating the map, the angle of viewing is changed and one of the resulting three layers can be viewed). : http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=811&trv=1

The JavaScript scripting language, the Cascading Style Sheets recommendation by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for applying styles to multiple Web pages, and other coding bells and whistles--are sometimes grouped under the marketing term Dynamic HTML, or DHTML. Proponents argue that these older technologies are good enough to do the job and that support for them is already embedded in common Web browsers. http://news.com.com/Web+tools+blaze+trail+to+the+past/2100-1032_3-5621010.html?tag=nefd.lede That level of difficulty might explain why it's taken until 2005 for some 1990s-era Web technologies to become more popular.... Renewed interest is "partly because of some clever approaches that have been recently exploited and partly because it has been exceptionally difficult to master the underlying technologies," he said.

Top Wikipedia (map-related?) volunteers; Seth Ilys (#9 )has been a geography nut since he was a kid. At age 5 or 6, he said, he made his own little atlases. Like Derek Ramsey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ram-Man), Ilys devotes most of his Wikipedia efforts to bolstering the project's U.S. geography articles, particularly by adding maps.

Everything, by Guillermo Kuitca (http://www.speronewestwater.com/cgi-bin/iowa/artists/related.html?record=6&info=works&view=Inventory%20Number&item=13) is an impressive four-panel painting which interpolates fragments of American road maps. The enigmatic veined surface invites the viewer for closer inspection where one can identify the names of locations; painstakingly woven in parts. Devoid of any beginning, end, or coordinates, places dissolve within some larger unknown entity of no geographical order. http://www.artdaily.com/section/news/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=12908 Kuitca's specialty is maps, maps in the broadest sense of the term, maps as diagrams of both spatial and temporal relationships. He has painted family trees, the floor plans of stadiums, apartments and prisons, the seating arrangements of theaters, the street plans of cities (in one case creating a grid of city blocks composed of hypodermic syringes). He has transposed the topography of countries onto the hollow-pocked surfaces of mattresses and has tackled his theme with the broad- est possible range of painterly techniques. The results are often extremely handsome abstract paintings with a referential twist. http://artscenecal.com/ArticlesFile/Archive/Articles1999/Articles0299/GKuitcaA.html
