Pirate Maps are an alternative to Google’s ubiquitous representation of the world; a cheap, WiFi map server developed as part of tech artist Josh Harle's MuseumsQuartier residency with the Research Institute for Arts and Technology. The maps borrow Google's look and feel – pinch zoom, swipe navigation, dynamically updating map tiles – but present the maker’s own maps: anything from conventional representations to crayon drawn scrawls or biro-annotated sketches. 30.3.2016, Metalab https://metalab.at/wiki/Pirate_Maps_Workshop
