Folding Map
越敏
这是三层地图交叠在一起的重影，字符、诗词、折纸。字母被拍平在纸上，堆成了山脉、岩石，又顺着字母稀疏地变成河流和洼地。诗词给予索引，折纸折叠空间。地图在这里依赖于我们行走的这个动作，被一些模糊的规则指引着，变成了一个流动的形态。如果目的地是开放的，那问题则出现在这一步和下一步中间的逻辑如何承接、递进、断裂。折纸是彩蛋，二维的地图回归到了三维的地形。配合着诗词和图像，希望能给大家建立自己行动规则时带来更多灵感。
It’s a heavy shadow of three layers of maps overlaid on top of each other, characters, poems, and origami. Letters are slapped flat on the paper, stacked into mountains and rocks, and sparsely followed into rivers and depressions. Poetry gives index, origami folds space. The map here relies on this action of our walking, guided by some vague rules into a fluid form. If the destination is open, the question arises as to how the logic between this step and the next is taken up, progressed, broken. Origami is the egg, the two-dimensional map returns to a three-dimensional topography. Together with the poems and images, I hope it will give you more inspiration when building your own rules of action.
结与魔法地图 Knotty Magic Map
立夏 Leilei Xia
本册是二十面体“结与魔法”工作坊的产物，结是在人类文明的初期就存在的技术和智慧。它在不同的文化、信仰、科学和技术中又不同的功能和符号意味。在这个工作坊里，16个来自中国和美国的编撰者用3周的时间共同虚构了一片大陆，这里的人们以结为信仰，他们需要共同应对一个危机。最后我们制作了两张0.7米*1米的大地图：一面是工作坊的过程介绍；另一面是wiki和故事，关于这个大陆，大家或杜撰或真实的词条解释，还有各种事件；在这个地图里，你可以在不同的大陆中探索由结散发出来的奇妙旅程，也可以顺着不同的结和线索，了解到关于结的各种冷知识。更重要的是，或许你可以看到某种可能性——用游戏甚至是一种狂热的幻想的方式去学习。
This booklet is the product of an Icosahedron workshop on “knots and magic”, a technology and wisdom that has existed since the dawn of human civilization. It has different functions and symbolic meanings in different cultures, beliefs, sciences and technologies. In this workshop, 16 writers from China and the United States spent 3 weeks fictionalizing a continent where people believe in knots and need to work together to cope with a crisis. In the end, we made two big maps of 0.7m*1m: one side is the introduction of the workshop process; the other side is the wiki and stories about this continent, people’s either made-up or real word explanations, and various events; in this map, you can explore the wonderful journey emanating from the knots in different continents, and you can also follow different knots and clues to learn all kinds of cold knowledge about knots. What’s more, perhaps you can see some kind of possibility - to learn in a game or even a wild fantasy way.
「地圖」的自由研究
eno
試圖用尋找地圖語義邊界的方式重新認識地圖。結果上，除了本體反思和地圖學之學術領域的研究外，更多的版面給了杉浦康平的獨特地圖思考和他對亞洲宇宙學的探索。這次著眼於打開對地圖的想像，而略欠說明。對內容感興趣的朋友歡迎一起討論。
It is an attempt to re-conceptualize maps by searching for their semantic boundaries. As a result, in addition to ontological reflections and research in the academic field of cartography, more space is given to Kohei Sugiura’s unique cartographic reflections and his exploration of Asian cosmology. This time, the focus is on opening up the imagination of maps, and there is a lack of explanation. If you are interested in the content, please feel free to discuss it with us.
「City System」
Joe
「City System」是一份城市游戏文档，来自于2003年的心理地理学活动「PSY-GEO-CONFLUX」。这份文档在结构上有点像性格测试，玩家在公共空间中观察特定的目标，在不同页码之间跳转，完成一次有随机性的散步。
The “City System” is a city game document from the 2003 psychogeographic event “PSY-GEO-CONFLUX”. The document is structured somewhat like a personality test, with players observing specific targets in a public space, jumping from page to page, and completing a randomized walk.
地图是摊平的字典
脑八
地图上总有着密密麻麻的地名。不同时空的人们用上自己熟悉的在意的词汇，给地点命名。如佩雷克所言：字典是是整个人类的回忆。那么地图就是摊平的字典，是摊平在这一张纸上的人类回忆。
我把自己学到的地名知识记录在四张真实的地图上。句子顺着弯弯绕绕的路径延伸，当读图者如行路般前进、绕弯、折返时，看到旁边的真实地名，希望 ta 也会惊叹于地名的乐趣。
Maps are always dense with place names. People from different times and places named locations using words they knew and cared about. As Perec said: the dictionary is the memory of the whole human race. Then the map is the dictionary, the memories of mankind flattened out on this piece of paper.
I recorded what I learned about place names on four real maps. Sentences stretch along curving paths, and as the map reader moves forward, around corners, and back as if traveling a road, he or she sees the real place names next to them, and hopefully they will marvel at the fun of place names as well.
好奇-行动-地图
天琦
这是一份卡牌版的莫干山游记，记录了我初来陌生的莫干山，在山上寻宝，结识朋友，而后遭遇各种事件的故事。你需要阅读卡牌内容，根据提示拼接全部的地图以不断推进我上山寻宝的进程。所有卡牌牌面的内容制作均来自我的手机截屏（照片，备忘录和地图软件）。牌套是我手机的防水袋。手机是我探险过程中可靠的伙伴。我尝试通过这种记录来讨论好奇心 行动探索 与地图三者不断相互生成的关系，附件还包含一份真实的电子版藏宝图，我将十一个宝物小盒藏在了莫干山的某处，随地图可前往搜索。此外附送了一份藏宝物料（磁盒与签到纸）收到物料的订阅者可以尝试设计藏宝图让别人寻宝。
This is a card version of the Moganshan Travelogue, which chronicles my first visit to the unfamiliar Moganshan Mountain, where I hunted for treasure, made friends, and then encountered various events. You need to read the contents of the cards and follow the hints to put together the whole map in order to advance my treasure hunt on the mountain. All the contents of the decks were created from screenshots of my cell phone (photos, memos, and mapping software). The card sleeves are waterproof pouches for my cell phone. My cell phone is a reliable companion during my adventures. I try to discuss the relationship between curiosity, action, exploration, and maps through this documentation, and the attachment includes a real electronic treasure map of eleven treasure lockets I hid somewhere in the Moganshan Mountains, which can be searched with the map. In addition, a treasure material (magnetic box and sign-in sheet) is included. Subscribers who receive the material can try their hand at designing a treasure map for others to find.

The Force
Tony
以绘图作为灵感，正在研究异端邪说的 Tony Yet手绘了一份地图， 记录了若干在20世纪下半叶流行于美国的新兴信仰团体，在查找资料过程中，Tony 发现当年许多《全球概览》的读者也是这些新兴信仰之追随者，甚至包括像鼠标发明人恩格尔巴特所在实验室里的很多人。这样的意外发现为 Tony 打开了全新的窗口，去窥探发生在半个多世纪前的往事。这些往事激起的涟漪，在当下的中国，亦引起了新的关注。欲知详情，可关注二十面体接下来要做的同题展览。
Inspired by the mapping, Tony Yet, who was researching heresies, drew a hand-drawn map of some of the emerging faith groups that became popular in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. In searching for the information, Tony discovered that many of the readers of The Global Survey were also followers of these emerging faiths, including many of those who worked in laboratories such as those of the inventor of the mouse, Engelbart. This unexpected discovery opened up a whole new window for Tony to look at events that happened more than half a century ago. The ripples of these events are now attracting new attention in China. For more information, check out Icosahedron’s upcoming exhibition on the same topic.
