Rad map and new name. GIS rules!
I guess it's technically an old name, but I have to get my history straight on that :) GIS does make for some beautiful data based art though, especially for anyone with a map fetish...like me.
Data based art, I like that! Thanks De Fu. Never really thought of it as art, more of just a job. But then again I dont always get to make sexy maps this one.
Dub~
