Map of the Microdot: a micronation at MIT
May 2nd, 2010 by Jeffrey Warren
Sam Kronick (read his awesome page, esp. pictures at the bottom) created a micro-nation called the Microdot on the MIT campus, on the large circle of grass known to students there as ‘the Dot’. He briefly seceded from the US (or MIT, I wasn’t sure), and we managed to make a map of the tiny nation late on its second and last day of existence.
Grassroots balloon mapping is a great way to capture temporary events and document brief invasions of public space… even protests, as we did in the West Bank last December.
