”Distorted view of reality"
Last month, the town council of Monza, Italy,
banned citizens from keeping goldfish in bowls.
The receptacle, statute sponsor Giampietro Mosca
told Agence France-Presse, […] gives fish "a
distorted view of reality.”
(Source: Washington Post, 8.08.2004)

NeoNeogeogeographygraphy
“Neogeography
combines the complex
techniques of
cartography and GIS and
places them within reach
of users and developers.”

Benjamin D. Hennig  Into the big wide open: Think twice before you map  FOSS4G Nottingham 19th September 2013
NeoNeocartocartographygraphy
“First there was neogeography, a convenient label for
the practice of geography outside of the formally
accepted geographical disciplines. A convenient
label, but one which caused some controversy and
mud slinging with the aforementioned formally
accepted disciplines being labelled paleogeography
and with a strong emphasis on the pejorative.
So it seems almost inevitable that we now have a
proposal […] form a commission on neocartography,
looking into the practise of making maps outside of
the formally accepted cartography profession.”
(Gary Gale, http://www.vicchi.org/2011/03/07/after-neogeography-here-comes-neocartography/)

Deeper undergroundDeeper underground
“Thankfully there’s been no mention of paleocartography yet;
it’s to be hoped that with neocartography we look beyond the
label to what is trying to be achieved rather than fixating on
convenient labels and pigeon-holing concepts.”
(Gary Gale, http://www.vicchi.org/2011/03/07/after-neogeography-here-comes-neocartography/)

Geo for all: Open Source…and GeographyGeo for all: Open Source…and Geography
“A lot of cartographers buried their heads in the sand in the 90s,
but now we recognise we need to find a better solution to make
maps work on screen. The essence of cartography is
communication.”
(UK Ordnance Survey's head of cartography, Bob Lilley, in an interview with Moss 2007)

  • 36. NeoNeocartocartographygraphy “First there was neogeography, a convenient label for the practice of geography outside of the formally accepted geographical disciplines. A convenient label, but one which caused some controversy and mud slinging with the aforementioned formally accepted disciplines being labelled paleogeography and with a strong emphasis on the pejorative. So it seems almost inevitable that we now have a proposal […] form a commission on neocartography, looking into the practise of making maps outside of the formally accepted cartography profession.” (Gary Gale, http://www.vicchi.org/2011/03/07/after-neogeography-here-comes-neocartography/) Benjamin D.
