Lecture by Benjamin D. Hennig, given at the Annual Conference of the Geographical Association, University of Derby, 5 April 2013.
This lecture presents new answers to one of the most challenging questions for contemporary cartography: 'The world is complex, dynamic, multidimensional; the paper is flat, static. How are we to represent the rich visual world of experience and measurement on flatland?'.
