Spanish magazine Altaïr has translated my essay ‘Journey to the Centre of Google Earth’ in their book, Cartographies, which is all about maps, or, to be more precise: “Virtual, spooky, cosmic, maritime, literary, photographic maps; agoraphobic, religious, megalomaniac maps; divided, natural, cut & paste maps”: https://www.altair.es/…/13-cartografias-altair-magazine_177…
My essay is about the metaphysics of Google Earth, and was originally commissioned in 2014 by Anne Hilde Neset for the catalogue that accompanied Oslo’s ‘Only Connect: J.G. Ballard’ festival. Here’s the English version: https://www.simonsellars.com/journey-to-the-centre-of-google….
It’s great to see this piece of mine come alive again. In fact, it’s already had an interesting life. I did a Twitter thread about it here: https://twitter.com/simon_sellars/status/1270666561561362433
