what isCYBERSPACE?
1. A virtual space created by global computer networks
2. Made up of binary figures
3. Exists in various forms
4. Volatile
5. A portal of human communication
consensual hallucination

properties ofCYBERSPACE
1.Consists of many domains
2.They are constantly changing
3.No physicality
is it possible to map something
that isn’t tangible?

to be in the virtual world is to
have an intrinsically geographic
experience, as virtual worlds are
experienced fundamentally as
places

what is a map?
classify, represent and communicate
spatial relations
continuous and arranged space
cyberspace hasno geographic referent

during the RENAISSANCE ERAemphasis was made on
the accuracy of maps with maths and geometry

does our cultural understanding of mapping
limit the way we imagine space?

issues with CYBERSPACE
spatialising immaterial information is
challenging to mapdue to it’s complexity and
mutability
maps require the areas they represent to becontinuous and arranged
cyberspace is
DISCONTINUOUS

cyber cartographersENCOUNTER SEVERAL CHALLENGES
1. Constructing dynamic maps of cyber spatiality when some spaces don’t have
explicit spatial relationships
2. There are no agreed upon conventions to how each area within cyberspace is
expressed.
3. Cyberspace is not limited to three dimensions
