[Frameworks] cartography as expanded cinema: an article & a European tour

[Eric Theise]

I was asked to write something about my cartography-as-expanded-cinema
practice for the Visual Fields section of *Cartographic Perspectives, *the
journal of the North American Cartographic Information Society. I'm a slow
& unsure writer and am relieved that my article, "A Synesthete's Atlas:
Real Time Cartography in Performance" was finally published last week
alongside a wide range of other map-related articles. Issue 103. html &
pdf. Open access.

https://doi.org/10.14714/CP103.1921

I was pleased–& hope Frameworkers will be, too–that Jim Thatcher, the
journal's editor, wrote in the issue's introduction that

"
While the technical side and developments behind Theise’s performance are
fascinating, I was personally struck by the influence of experimental film
on the project; a connection I had previously not made, perhaps to my own
detriment.
 "

& I'm doubly-pleased to see an article in a map journal that's illustrated
with images of work by Ernie Gehr, Robert Breer, & Paul Sharits. There's a
sequence from Paul Glabicki's Film-Wipe-Film that runs over multiple pages.
I'll be writing today and tomorrow to everyone who helped me pull this off
but for now will send a group thank; you know who you are.

I'll be speaking about my practice at the Royal Geographical Society
meeting in London at the end of August, and at EuroCarto in Vienna
mid-September; I'll be in residence at AGA Lab (screenprinting maps) in
Amsterdam throughout September and October.

I plan to arrive in the UK well in advance of my talk, and hope to pass
through Brussels and Germany after my time in the Netherlands. I would be
thrilled to hear from any European Frameworkers in a position to host a
performance in those countries. I've given ~30 North American performances
since the 2022 Lisbon premiere and I'm looking forward to performing again
on that side of the Atlantic.

Thanks for reading.

Eric
