[A Map Larger than the Territory]

New Yorkers!
Send us your tiresome commutes, your everyday errands, your wrong turns, bike rides and bus routes, your shopping sprees and secret shortcuts. Write your paths through the city and we'll map them for you!

An online marketplace for the exchange of itineraries? A method of charting urban travels online? A Web application capable of transforming subjective experiences into images and sounds? A "Carte du Tendre" drawn by surveillance technology? "A Map Larger Than the Territory" is all of these.

Don't believe it? Try it!

SEND US YOUR DAILY ROUTES THROUGH THE CITY

Join us while we make maps, write stories and film documentation of the routes we've gathered. Check the schedule for time and location.
