The Art of Geography is an exploration of the sense of place using cartography, art and immersive 360 panoramas.
Art
We make digital fine art that explores the concept of a “natural field theory.” Living things and minerals may radiate energy in other fields that operate in a different temporal scale, and/or in wavelengths outside human vision.
Just as infrared film allows us to see a heat-field view of things, these artworks explore a vision of the natural world that fuses reflected light with an envisioning of other energy fields.
Cartography
The Art of Geography distills geospatial information into digestable maps using well-thought out design and a clear hierarchy. Maps can help us understand our relationship to place.
Some of the Art of Geography's maps of parks, urban areas, and regions have become the official maps for state and city parks. We also make poster maps, very large wall maps and guidebook maps.
360° photography
Virtual reality photography allows you to immersive yourself in a location at a particular moment. Look around, get a sense of what it is like to be there with Art of Geography panoramas.
We've shot over five thousand 360 degree scenes and are selectively publishing scenes from the archive.
