Lize Mogel

the world as a world map
(and other cartographic experiments)

As technology and commerce blur more and more geographic boundaries, the ubiquitous world map becomes an inadequate descriptor of the intricacies of globalization. Lize Mogel will present cartographic projects which re-think two iconic representations of the world-- the world map, and the international spectacle of World's Fairs. She will discuss her research on sites of former WorldÕs Fairs in North America, and will also present projects from the past 6 years of creating and disseminating 'radical cartography'
