Re-Mapping the Line

So you might know that I am putting lots of images and stories up on the maps from the project - you can access them all through the timeline. Click on the dates of the weekend, then click on “detailed map” on the right under the map. There you can see images and where they were taken and read more about the experiences along the way.

In addition to that, I am interested in working on maps that explore the areas around the 10′ above sea level line. Looking at the obvious things, like ethnicity, age, income, number of people in household, language spoken. But also other things like the infrastructure and what area it services (so who would be affected if the power station in Dumbo was flooded). Things like distance from transportation in case of evacuation. Immigration status (are the coastal dwellers new or old New Yorkers). Types of industry. I am sure there is more to investigate, but this will give me a good start.

If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in working on this part of the project. I am interested in working with cartographers to generate the first version of the maps and artists to interpret the data. Email me through the contact page.
