Since our session was unfortunately cut short by the power outages, I’m giving you the following links to peruse at your leisure over the weekend. First, here is a short video about the contemporary German artist-photographer Florian Maier-Aichen and Cao Fei, a young Chinese artist who works in online environments. The link will begin playing the entire “Fantasy” program. You can watch the entire thing if you want, but I’d like you to look specifically at chapters 8-13 (if you hover over the video, images will pop up to show the beginnings of chapters). Their work engages new ways of representing the movement through space (mapmaking and contemporary ways of representation, which might inspire you as you consider your own manuscript page.

And here are the images from the second half of class again, larger, here is a pdf.
