The cartography develops itself by possibilities of demonstration. An interesting aspect of the development is that maps can go from the surface to the intercept point between observer and reality. This formation has the effect that the surface conduced to the infrastructure with a lot of possibilities to interpret and communicate. This provides a fast access of data and information. It is not only one authority but also an always add-on and addition by the involved parties. Therefore the map becomes a collective creation.
Surface
We call it surface when a map shows the reality of different information. It´s a facing what you can look at or read it, also enclosed and not expandable - a kind of reality.
Interface
The surface of a map can be able to be an interface, if the observer has the possibility to take hold the information in switch on or off the information and add or in adding information or share personal experience. The surface is not only a static surface anymore, but underlies an ever changing act. The surface is becoming a pushbutton who everybody can handle it.
Information
The information of maps is getting more complex and use different layers of design in the same time. Furthermore the information is getting democratize by add of users. There is no hierarchy anymore, because of the disintegration of higher instance. Contradictory information were shown and objectify at the same time.
Reality
A map brings the design of the reality, whereupon it´s necessary to abstract the reality to describe it. That implicates previously a contortion of the reality. The reality addicted to subjective factor and everybody appreciate it in a different way. Actions are always in a motion and have to be comprehensible.
Parameter (properties of the legend)
The parameter of a map made up of different layers of information. You can switch it on or off at the interface, to look at it simultaneously or alone.
Parameter as Infrastructure: (google maps)
sattelite image
roads
places
boarders
stretch of water
Parameter of social cooperation: (google maps)
Personal pictures of places
Personal descriptions of places
Pictures/descriptions of actions, which took place at a location
Precise arrangement of parameter?

Nam June Paik – TV Buddha
The sculpture of the sitting Buddha viewing his own image on an closed-circuit television screen by mediating. An inanimate sculpture looking at its inanimate mirror images.
So the past and the presence look at one other. Also the project connect eastern religion and the western aspect of technology.
It demonstrates a closed circuit. A video camera absorbs signals via a cable which transfers the information directly to the monitor. From this monitor the information are sending back as an image. By means of this process of image transmission, time is coming to know as a new way of possibility. There is a mutual influence between face and medium!
Hyper surface – deCoi
Aegis is the name given to an innovative range of physically reconfigurable 3D screens, where the screen surface itself physically moves, producing precise and high-speed deformation across a "fluid" surface.
This surface projects information on a plane. It links information systems with physical forms. It’s digital skin reacts on various outside influences and show them information in fluid motions. The face exists on movements or sounds and his interface is the hyper surface. Digital inputs are linked to digital outputs and so outside information are converted in mathematic terms and show them in movements of the hyper surface. The hypersurface makes processes visible, which we cannot see else.
Information are translated in a form! It’s a latent surfaces, it’s “pixels” given vectorial potential. It’s a scriptural surface become spatial and dynamic!
Room is coming up as a “floating space”!
