We study the measure theoretic properties of the complex exponential map E(z) = ez.An particular, we show that the equivalence relation generated by E is recurrent and that E has no quasi-conformal deformations. This enables us to give some information concerning Devaney's semi-conjugacy between E and the shift map on sequences of integers.
