Putting his work on the map artist Aram Bartholl has brought google’s destination pin to life. The physical red “boing” graphic corresponds to the size of a marker in the web interface in maximal zoom factor of the map. Project Map can be found in what the search engine deems the center of any particular city. Scratching our heads we take the opportunity to relate its point of interest with the interacting city life surrounding and more so, the gradual decrease of bustle as the radius extends out and beyond the city limits.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
