A Map of the Internet, Drawn to Scale
From artist #Martin_Vargic comes this beautiful, ultra-high-resolution fictional map of the internet — scaled using actual from Alexa to rank the top 500 or so websites by traffic in the entire world.
According to Vargic, it took 3 weeks of 10-hour days to create, basing the project off of National Geographic maps. And it’s still a work in progress, detailing just a miniscule portion of the entire internet. Here’s his explanation of how the whole thing fits together:
"The map is divided into 2 distinctive parts; the eastern continent, ’the old world’ showcases software companies, gaming companies and some of the more real-life oriented websites. Western part, ’the new world’ is composed from two major continents, northern one showcasing social networks, search websites, video websites, blogs, forums and art websites.
