Create a new map or globe of the world that shows multinational
corporate borders, vectors and free trade zones instead of national
boundaries. Map must make it into a grade-school geography textbook, or
globes must be sent to several elementary schools nation-wide; either event
must be reported upon extensively in the mainstream press.
The MAPS project at ®™art
An intriging project to be sure. Just defining what it means for a
corporation to have a “border” will be difficult, much less the other parts
of the project. The free trade zones is a bit easier and will probably follow
traditional national borders.
But if one is created, I wouldn't mind having a copy. I have R.
Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Map, and an
upside-down map (where Antartica is on top, North America on the bottom).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
