Critique: Ken on Geographical Representation

Forty-two.

That's the answer to "life, the universe and everything", according to Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy (What? Why 42?)

Is this true? Well, according to Ken, not so. He provides the photo montage below as proof. It shows a colourful woman who resides on the first floor of the Times Square Mall and satellite and microscope images.

Neue Weltanschauung means new worldview (Apparently Weltanschauung, a German word, used to be a popular term in geography).

The names and dates refer to historical events involving biological warfare against Native Americans and instances of criminality in modern medical research. Someone's trying to erase that history.

The satellite images depict the places mentioned, while the microbes represent the events, and these are all shown in colour.


Writes Ken,


"She was blue until she found that the new view matched her do.

Correlate scales by colour to find the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything else. It is no longer 42, but rather lies between the colours red and....blue."
