The Berlage Sessions: "From Image to Pixel" by Bert Spaan

This is a lecture about maps. About old maps and what they can teach us about the present and the future. And about new maps, about how they are made and about what we'll learn when we peel off layer by layer until we see what we're interested in. Bert Spaan is an independent software engineer and cartographer. He designs and builds creative technology for data and exploration with a focus on open source and open standards. In the past, he worked for Waag, a research institute for technology and society in Amsterdam, and for NYPL Labs, the digital humanities lab of the New York Public Library. Currently, he works on Allmaps, an open-source platform for curating and exploring digitized cartography.
