A network based geographical scale drawing tool
net.art Sketch enables you to draw on a 2880x1755 mile canvas across North America. Two hundred and seventy-three areas (each approximately 137x135 miles in dimension), situated in a geographic grid are represented by 10x10 pixel squares on the net.art Sketch 1.0 drawing surface. Servers that lie within the represented geographic regions, or nearby in the case of ocean areas, are associated with the equivalent 10x10 grid areas on the applet drawing canvas. Drawing tools in the Sketch interface are used to realize a composition. After the creation of a drawing, selecting the "start" button in the net.art Sketch interface causes any selected (black) pixels in the mapped regions to be reported to the server for that region as cartesian coordinates. Your drawing is therefore projected by the net.art Sketch applet onto an actual geographic space, based on the physical location of the servers. The projected drawing surface is composed of a collection of (mostly) art related web sites, and spans approximately 2880 miles in width East to West, and 1755 miles in height North to South. For reference, the image map below approximates the mapping of the pixel regions to the servers addressed by the net.art Sketch applet.
