Kinetic Cartography deals with observing the landscapes of four different places from the world and creating one unique landscape by amalgamating their identities into one. Here, the merged landscapes of Diamantina River (Australia), Melong River(Cambodia), Dubai and Prague led to dynamic results.

StyleGAN Plan

Prague, Czech Republic

Melong River, Cambodia

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Diamantina River, Australia

The process involves using StyleGan and Octane Render to morph the maps into one result that is then made dynamic thereby reflecting features of all the locations to create one single plan.
