Google Maps joins the ‘literati’

Google Maps doesn’t only serve everyday humdrum, but is being applied in the Art sphere.

Viennese Christoph Benda, in his extraordinary web novel “Senghor on the rocks” has demonstrated this – it is unusual because all locations in the book are displayed simulateously on Google Maps.

According to the project description, all content elements of this literary text are assigned geographic and temporal coordinates, and are displayed chronologically on a map. The user can therefore follow the story using animated satellite images. This adds a completely new and (currently) unique and pleasurable reading experience.
