Also - not map related but still similar - a program called MetaSynth allowed import of digital images and "mapping" onto frequencies, and true to his past (captivatingly disturbing) work, Aphex Twin incorporated an image of his face into a track on the Windowlicker EP. Google it, and be prepared to shiver :)
