Maps, Lies & Storytelling Section 8 - Storytelling
Every map has a relationship with storytelling
At the very least in the editorial
Even the discovery map
http://bit.ly/1oJ7CkD
Not much plot, but a lot of backstory
http://bit.ly/1oJ7CkD http://bbc.in/1rcBAgo
“Maps are errors to arrive at truth.” - http://amzn.to/1BFFLYl
The promotional map
The promotional map doesn’t typically tell an explicit story. Instead
the stories are implicit in the places they illustrate
http://bit.ly/ZeHojA
None
Full of detail, settings, and potentially characters
http://bit.ly/1xaVtdt
None
The personal map
Telling each author’s micro-story and the overarching story about different
perceptions of place
Possibly an obvious character
Often complex plots and varying detail

Related to maps from imagination
Where world is almost a character itself
Add an element of logic to an imaginary world

The human map
Editorial gymnastics to highlight small, discrete concepts to make a
point
Somehow we or they are always the character
http://bit.ly/1pl02wx

http://bit.ly/1pl02wx
http://wapo.st/Z2bUwv
Sometimes the point is immediately obvious in data with a
minimal number of dimensions
http://bit.ly/1xPWFGa
And are more often practically impossible to decode alone (failed
stories)
http://wapo.st/Z2bUwv
Or can be passively dishonest to provoke conversation
http://wapo.st/Z2bUwv
If done well, they can be beautiful at the same
time they are insightful
http://bit.ly/1oI9VUZ
Even an airplane map…
Air travel is a strange sub-genre of its own
http://bit.ly/1pBnXIg

The temporal map
“Time is a very powerful dimension to enrich our maps.”

Even the narrative map
Often resemble to an interactive discovery map
c4a.me/1dYHKv9/ PLUTO is Free!
None
None
But typically accompany a larger narrative
http://thebea.st/1uSNrYH
http://bit.ly/1aDGM5g
None
None
Where the story becomes the explicit goal of the map
So they often combine all the elements of a good
story
http://bit.ly/1s31rwt
setting, character, plot, backstory, detail
