an atlas of artificial intelligence maps

when the map becomes the territory

Cartotopia presents an atlas of “maps'' created by artificial intelligence. A reckoning between carto and topos, cartography and place, this atlas is an exploration of how landscapes are mapped, how maps are read, and how computers might do both. Where some maps reflect utopias, dystopias or heterotopias - places ideal, bad, or different - these maps simply reflect places mapped  - cartotopias - places that only exist in the map, places made by machines. Generated from a cooperation of millions of pixels and probabilities, Cartotopia holds evidence of both cartographic and computational processes, in contradiction and collaboration, between mappers and machines, between metaphor and reason, between image and place. The maps in this atlas were produced using  different suites of generative adversarial networks (GANs), which learn, generate, style and upsample, producing what might be better described as ‘collective experiments in statistical probability’.
