[#]30DayMapChallenge Day 20 - Data: #OpenStreetMap
This map depicts all forest roads in the region of Salzkammergut, Austria extracted from OpenStreetMap. When I first saw this I was amazed that forests are so heavily cut by roads. Later I learned that there are more forest roads in Austria than public roads. These roads threaten the forest health by compacting the soil and cutting through natural habitats.

Here's one more of my handprinted and embossed postcard maps. The white lines are hiking trails in the region of the Austrian Salzkammergut. The lines are screenprinted and the landscape embossed with a letterpress machine and a 3d printed cliché.

I've been working on a map of the degree of imperviousness in Austria with data from the copernicus imperviousness layer. My idea was to depict the sealed surface as "islands" within a "sea" of unsealed soil. The result is an "archipelago of sealed soil".

The result of my first experiments was a series of embossed postcards, screenprinted with 16 different datasets mostly from openstreetmap. I went through all the map features (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features) and used the qgis osm plugin to create simple maps containing features such as all mountain peaks of the region, all supermarkets, all natural reserves etc. . Some of the maps reveal an unknown density of specific features, for example forest roads vs. public roads proved to be quite surprising...

I had the great opportunity to work on these printed postcards in the frame of the european cultural capital 2024 Bad Ischl Salzkammergut. I was using a vacant train station in the region as my atelier for a few weeks and printed a small edition of postcards there while visitors were able to join and emboss their own postcards.

Recently I started experimenting with creating maps made by embossing the landscape relief directly onto paper. It has been quite an exciting process so far. I created a 3D printed positive and negative mould which was mounted inside a 120 year old letterpress machine. Then I started experimenting with different paper and moisture...

Since I am not a cartographer, I relied upon some great tutorials by @pinakographos to help me especially with the editing of heightmaps in #qgis. Thanks for the very detailed notes. The level of detail that can be achieved by recalculating heightmaps for use in blender is amazing.

I came across another tutorial for colouring shaded relief maps in blender, which I will give a try. The part about slope shading using normals has caught my eye.

The Edition 01 maps were made with scans of original maps from an archive and combined with a heightmap, which was laserscanned from an airplane. I combined the two sources in QGIS and Blender. In the image below you can see the three steps of the working process (left 3D terrain model, middle scanned original, right final product). In the final stage before rendering the image in blender I added a very low sunlight and edited the colors by changing the hue of the map.

Edition 01/05
The Austrian state and its institutions have always had a great interest in governing the Salzkammergut and its population centrally from “far” away Vienna due to enormous salt deposits in the mountains. Some of the maps show detailed logging lanes, which indicate an interest in the wood resources (especially in connection with salt mining). Until today the salt is mined from the mountains in the region. (The german name Salzkammergut can be translated to 'salt chamber')

What were the historic intentions behind cartography? People who live in a landscape and are embedded in it usually do not need maps to orient themselves in their everyday lives. It is people who do not know a landscape (well) who rely on maps. In particular, people and institutions who control a region and want to exercise power (political, military, bureaucratic, etc.) are very interested in having a seemingly "objective" representation of the landscape.

Edition 01/03
The view created by maps resembles a fictional “god’s eye view” that cannot exist in any embodied form. By evenly scaling the landscape according to the rules of linear perspective, the viewer can look freely over the landscape and thereby visually “conquer” it. This is a fundamental insight that the French philosopher Bruno Latour elaborates in his text “Visualisation and Cognition: Drawing Things Together”.

Edition 01/02
The original coloring has been falsified here to exaggerate the artificial character of the landscape. This artificiality, which led to the title of the edition “Salzkammergut Fiction”, is based on the theoretical discussion of the topic of the cartographic representation of landscapes. The exact measurement and projection, as well as the classic “natural” coloring, usually suggest a geographical truth and “objectivity” of the map representations, which in my opinion doesn't exist.

My fascination for cartography and the alpine landscape of the Salzkammergut led to bringing together and realizing this art project. In the last year I have been to archives, spoke to experts, combed through open-source data, worked in 3D programs, printed, etc. and have gradually gained my own personal, critical approach to cartography. The result of this process are newly interpreted historical maps. I would like to share these as well as the background and the creation process of my work.

'At the scale of the usual planetary view, the thin surface of the critical zone is barely visible, it being only a few kilometers up and a few kilometers down at most. [...] We have to imagine it as a skin, the skin of the Earth, sensitive, complex, ticklish, reactive. That’s where we all live—cells, plants, bugs, beasts and people. ' Bruno Latour on the 'CRITICAL ZONES' exhibition, 2020

I really love using open source height data for creating shaded relief maps that capture the plastic charasteristics of the austrian alps. It really is the skin of the earth that we are inhabiting, as sociologist and philosopher Bruno Latour describes in his text for the 2020 'critical zones' exhibition at the ZKM Karlsruhe.
This map was specifically created for the european cultural capital Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024 and made with #QGIS and #blender3d #mapstodon #maps

Hi, This is my first post on Mastodon 👋 My name is Fabian, I studied architecture and I'm creating critical cartography in my free time. I look forward to exchanging ideas and maps in this exciting community.
I am mainly interested in climate related mapping and combining open source data with old maps and different shading and printing techniques. 🗺️ See you around!
