[OC] Ich habe eine Karte von Island erstellt, die ich manuell aus alten Zeitungen zusammengestellt habe.

Hæ all! Creator here.

Usually, my Data Art project involves the code to visualize countries (I actually have a typographic map of Iceland too that I can share later if anyone is interested).

But for this piece, I felt the machine algorithms were too cold to show what I expected to see 🙂 I wanted to capture some texture of the island. So I switched to a manual process – I spent the weekend searching through scans of old newspapers to find the names of towns and glaciers to collect them all together.

Hearing that this piece was well-received by locals (friends of an acquaintance) gave me the confidence to share it here with you all.

Hope you enjoy this analog break from the digital world 🙂
