Danube Panorama Project
Longterm Panoramic Linescans of the Danube River (2005)
The Danube Panorama Project is an experimental approach to photographic mapping and cartography. It's goal is to produce a huge panorama of the Danube's river sides by digitally slit-scanning its coastlines, resulting in a unique 'cross section' of contemporary Europe.
The Danube - "Europe's River of Destiny" - connecting Western, Central and Eastern Europe uniquely reflects the shifting relationships of its peoples, cultures and religions in its accumulated history and contemporary dimensions. It is as much a cultural as a geographic landscape. It will guide as a symbolic red line of this intense survey.
