Onto-Cartography

Onto-cartography, introduced by Levi R. Bryant, is a practice of mapping how entities—human and nonhuman—interact to produce worlds. It shifts cartography from representing geography to tracing ontological relations and power dynamics. Machines, infrastructures, plants, and laws are all mapped as actors that shape terrains of existence. For design, onto-cartography highlights how spatial arrangements emerge from complex assemblages rather than singular intentions. It is a method for visualizing the invisible architectures of agency.
