Conversation: Serpentine Gallery ~ Edge: Map Marathon

A map about the complete inability of the general public to gauge the relative sizes and distances, the areas, the population....Often there are extremely basic assumptions with distortions that would be hilarious, if they weren't at the same time so deeply sad as well...Analogous to illiteracy and innumeracy I coined the term "immappancy".
