MUTABLE WORLDS

Mai 2004, Farbe, stumm, 4:10, loop. Flash-Animation / digitales Video.

Sechs verschiedene flächentreue Weltkarten, antarktis- oder pazifik-zentriert, verwandeln sich in einander. Reflexionen über unsere Sehgewohnheiten und über unseren Glauben an objektive Bild-Information. Ungewohnte Sichten auf die globale Geographie und wandernde Kontinente befragen und verwirren unser Weltbild auf meditative Weise.

MUTABLE WORLDS

May 2004, colour, silent, 4:10, loop. Flash animation / digital video.

Six different projections of equal area world maps, orientated / centred towards the south pole and the pacific ocean, morph into each other. The unusual views of the world, the abstract graphical artwork and the strange continental drifts question and irritate - in a playful and meditative way - our habits of perception and our belief in detached information.
