Frozen Island. Live
This magical publication translates the website "Frozen Island" (frozenisland.live) into a physical form, offering a snapshot of the digital environment so many use to orient themselves. A set of perforated, lick-and-stick stamps is presented on the volume's cover; these gifts function as mini-portals that drop readers/users into surprising moments in Google Maps. By tagging a stamp with a mobile device, people can travel to strange and beautiful places around the world.
The curated collection of captioned and geolocated images, with an introductory text by designer Halim Lee, functions as a keepsake travelogue that locks in memorable and intriguing moments from one of the 21st century's key mapping interfaces.
Instructions to use the stamps are included.
