Here & There: A horizonless projection in Manhattan 5 May 2009

Awesome work from Schulze and Webb: These maps of Manhattan put the viewer simultaneously above the city and in it where she stands - that is, both looking down and looking forwards at the same time:

"Imagine a person standing at a street corner. The projection begins with a three-dimensional representation of the immediate environment. Close buildings are represented normally, and the viewer himself is shown in the third person, exactly where she stands.

"As the model bends from sideways to top-down in a smooth join, more distant parts of the city are revealed in plan view. The projection connects the viewer's local environment to remote destinations normally out of sight."

S&W discussed their influences in a recent blog post.
