Lifewinning

I've previously written about Seeing Networks, a small field guide to the physical Internet infrastructure of NYC but hadn't investigated the author, Ingrid Burrington, until now. Her site - Lifewinning is filled with thoughtful research pieces, interesting maps, design and writing. It's a real smorgasbord of intellect that reveals itself in an absolutely non-pretentious manner. It's difficult to explain the allure of pieces like States of Uncertainty - a collection of maps showing nation states that, technically, don't exist - or The Republic of Zaqistan - an art project or maybe fledgling nation in northern Utah, maybe both.

That's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of enjoyable items to be found. Spend some time with each piece.
