This article was about the abstraction of a base idea. It reminded me a lot of a movie we watched in my film class. The movie was titled the Andalusian Dog. It was a paradigm of the Surrealist movement. Surrealism, like the article, was about obscuring meaning. the article referenced obscuring the original meaning. In the case of the map, it becomes so detailed that it conceals the original intention or meaning. Surrealism was all about obscuring any and all meaning and leaving it open to the viewer. Surrealism and the map are puzzles of narratives.
