Distorted Map Art

Distorted Map Art

Background

I created this model for a school project years ago. It is a map of the world with distorted continents. The larger ocean size is meant to represent the connectedness of the world across the ocean and how the ocean is the way that humans connect with each other. The International Date Line introduces an element of separation by representing how we are different because of time zones. But still, the world coordinates to keep time consistent, and it can be seen as another element of connectedness.

Print Settings

Print the map with 0 top and 0 bottom layers. I used triangle infill at 50% to get the look in the photos, but if you play around with the settings and create something interesting, please post a make!

I had to print the map in two parts to fit on my printer.
