Branar & MuseInsight
Hey Branar, have you ever thought about how those ancient cave drawings and today’s GPS maps are actually two sides of the same coin, both trying to make sense of the wild? I find the conversation between old art and modern mapping pretty fascinating.
They’re both just tricks to read the land. Old lines were crude maps for survival, new ones just add numbers. Both ways keep the wild from getting lost.
I hear you, but think of those old lines as more than survival tools—they were living narratives, telling people who were out there who they were and what the land meant to them. Modern numbers bring order, but they also strip away that storytelling layer, turning wilderness into a cold spreadsheet. The tension between the two keeps the wild alive, in fact.
