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”.
