In Jim Enote’s video about Counter Mapping, he explains that there are many different ways in which to think about maps. He differentiates the maps that are able to exude the physical locations of places, and maps that are able to effectively tell a story. He claims maps that contain cultural information or important ancestral aspects should exist in order to create a sense of community to those that read these types of maps. Although this is extremely creative, I feel as if maps have a sole purpose, and intertwining this kind of information and maps would produce something more along the lines of art. KS’s piece made me think about this idea when he says, “It felt more like a piece of art that told a story. I’m not sure that is the same purpose of satellite view on Google Maps.”
