Liquid Capitals, 2000, web project

The project presents an interactive shape shifting map, which is constructed using pieces of existing coastlines and borders. These are collaged into equally recognisable and unknown places. The piece relies upon the iconic status of maps, and their formal blankness in relation to their geographic, political and social associations. Morphing between these fragments recalls timescales both of plate tectonics and instantaneous electronic communications. This map suggests landscapes as fluid as capital, as connected as cell phone networks. A map of collapsing geography.
