Happy birthday to Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594) renown Flemish cartographer.
What made Mercator a great #cartographer, was in fact his abilities as a #mathematician -and like those of us scientists who feel compelled also to create art he was wasn’t hindered by his immense ability as an engraver. He produced beautiful world maps (a version of which is depicted in this print), 🧵1/

I just moved to tldr.nettime, so it’s time for an #introduction. I am a social and cultural #geographer working and teaching at #HalleUniversity (Germany). I am interested in the geographies of technology and currently doing research on #OpenStreetMap, political and historical geographies of infrastructure, #countermapping and platform urbanism. Also, I am part of the open-access journal @sub_urban .

“Literally a million fascinating cartographic artifacts are held in this sprawling university collection…
Within the campus University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a geographer’s treasure trove: More than a million artifacts from the American Geographical Society, one of the most incredible collections of maps, atlases, and globes to be found anywhere in America.
It’s an inconspicuous home for such a storied collection: This is the final resting place of the library of the illustrious American Geographical Society…”

Time for a new #introduction!
I'm a former #geographer & #mapmaker, now working on a #PhD project in digital #archaeology, between #Prehistory and #openSource #geospatial.
I used to work as an #artist, I'm into #sailing (I was #livingAboard during a few years) and #musicMaking is my happy place. I'm also a happy #dad and I'm fluent in fr, en & es.
Finally, I'm the proud admin of https://Mapstodon.space, a great #Mastodon instance dedicated to maps — & full of decent and interesting people!

So Tim Walz is a trained geographer and a former high school geography teacher?!
This is the biggest political news for the profession since Prince William got a masters degree in Geography.
Here's Gov Walz giving a talk at the ESRI GIS conference just last month!
https://mediaspace.esri.com/media/1_d2sqkrju
He's totally locked up the pivotal mapmaker demographic.

"At the end of the 18th century, #Spain's official #geographer, #TomásLopez, was asked by the King to create an accurate #map of the kingdom. In an attempt to delegate the herculean labour required, Tomás drew a series of circles, picked the town in the center of each circle, and asked the local priest to answer a questionnaire and draw up a map of their province. The goal was to amalgamate the responses into a single map. But none of these priests were trained in #cartography, and many of them would have had limited access to maps at all. Nonetheless, 500 of them tried. In one map, the entire region is represented simply by a series of letters (“A” for church, “B” for hermitage, “C” for house, “D” for tree, and so on). Another represents the surrounding villages as if they are orbiting planets. In some, the handwriting forms the topographies. In others, descriptive columns of text take center stage, as if the language itself is a landmark. Each priest implicitly reveals how they see the world around them, and the relative importance of its constituent parts: nature or people, religion or trade, architecture or landscape, precision or vibes."

A wild map made in #QGIS appeared from an envelope today. I'm happy to see #FOSS used in research in the private sector as well.
As a #geographer I have to judge the map. It is the law.
The map is surprisingly good for a BW map. I like the slight off-white colour of the water bodies. The textual elements are clearly legible. BUT. The scale bar and north arrow are way too large, and numbers would've sufficed to indicate the various areas. Now some texts make it hard to identify locations.
