For thousands of years humans have known the Earth is not flat, yet gravity constrains us to the surface of what we tend to see as relatively planar territories. In these pages are ideas and resources for learning tools offering ways to visualize a more 3-dimensional Earth, providing a more intuitive sense of where other peoples and places are are in this spherical village we all share. I put this website together as a way of sharing ideas and evolving technologies that could help make this possible.
Concepts for exhibitry and public art are illustrated on the ideas page, the locate tool allows you to pick two cities from a list and calculate the straight-line “as the neutrino flies” distance & direction from one city to another, and the links page points to software, formulas and other tools that could be useful in further developing these general ideas. Additional resources can be found here on my personal site.
