Enchanting the Desert is the geographical revival of Henry Peabody's travelling Grand Canyon slide-show made in the early part of the twentieth century. It helped set a template for how we see the Grand Canyon today. Using an established medium—the website application—Enchanting the Desert introduces a genre of scholarship—the born-digital interactive monograph. The medium allows for technical leaps impossible in a print publication. The genre takes advantage of these leaps by performing spatial narrative in an inventive new way. Enchanting the Desert contributes to an aesthetic for the production of cultural space. It is a conversation between two modes of visual geographic representation: the pictorial and the cartographic. Holding these two in concert is to explore between emotion and analysis.
