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

'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

@kartografisches the funniest thing about the height data is that if the Earth was the size of a pool ball it would be the smoothest and most perfect pool ball ever.
