- Jerry's Map is an ongoing two-dimensional virtual world art project started in 1963, consisting of over 4,000 panels forming a circular map.
- The creative process is driven by a custom deck of instruction cards, with tasks ranging from artistic actions to administrative duties, guiding daily work.
- The map evolves through layered phases like Base Layer, The Void, The Red Dimension, Black Ness, and The Ziggurat Phase, each with distinct materials and rules.
- Over time, the project evolved from manual processes to a systematized approach using cards, with changes in materials, tools, and data tracking methods.
- Key principles include work direction based on card color, new panel generation rules, and the avoidance of overlaying existing artwork.
