This makes their introduction and explication of HyperCities and the critical potential of digital mapping both satisfying and yet also a text that points to the need for further debate.ĭigital mapping-or, more broadly, spatial visualization-has become an established sub-category of digital humanities work, including in art history. To their credit, these authors are keenly aware of exactly such issues and thematize them specifically in their texts. At the same time, though, their compelling defense of digital spatial visualization nevertheless shares some of the same pitfalls with previous arguments for the radical democratizing potential for the production and distribution of digital knowledge. As such, Todd Presner, David Shepard, and Yoh Kawano extend the well-established tradition of striving for the most open access possible for digital-based scholarship. Yet, rather than a lack of organization or rigor on the part of the authors, their intent is clearly to present the reader with a mash-up of genres and points of entry that strive for multiple users along a spectrum ranging from coders, to academics just getting their feet wet in the digital humanities, to the web public at large. With its attendant website, it is neither fish nor fowl, for it is simultaneously a scholarly book, an introduction to a digital mapping platform, an extension of web-based projects that use the platform, and an activist text. Hypercities is an unruly book that does not want to behave.
