Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

c3 s.e.

I've apparently been somewhat obsessed with Cartrographic meanderings; this is the graphic result of a merger between my two hyperbolic institutional projects. And since everyone knows that image is everything, the existence of images to market these enterprises is sufficient for the success and reality of each institution and the ...

Cartographers for Social Equality

The world is full of remarkable groups set on propagating "the most important thing," or the "thing that has been most neglected," or indeed: "the thing that is most ludicrous."But the extraordinary action group of lobbyists known as The Cartographers for Social Equality do not seem to immediately fit into ...
