Artist John Louder’s fascination with maps led him to a unique approach: depicting a traditional ground-level landscape, along with an overhead map view of the same area. Color-coded lines on the satellite perspective denote the field of view, and an airplane’s shadow points in the direction of the KCI airport. Louder hopes this double view will inspire visitors with the richness of the Kansas City landscape, and that the two perspectives enlarge travelers’ understanding of representational space.
