My most extensive internet project, New York City Map,
is a sort of virtual guide to the most interesting parts of New York City
(at least from my point of view). But it isn't a guide in the usual sense.
While "walking" through these Web pages you can, as you choose, find yourself "standing" on a particular street,
you can walk or go by subway direction you want, you can meet people and even "talk to them".
In contrast to traditional maps, the aim of NYCMap is not to document the layout of the city or
point out its most famous tourist attractions. With the NYCMap I've tried to capture the atmosphere,
the energy, or that Something which I think makes New York City so curiously different from other cities with skyscrapers.
At the same time, this project is my personal diary, a document of time I spent there since 1999.
