This joint exhibition by artists from different hemispheres, of work resulting from the traversal of the globe, offers complementary engagements with the visual representation of space. Enlisting not the illusory imitation of spatial depth on the picture surface, in the conventional western landscape tradition, but the visual and scientific technologies for measuring space and the subjective relation to it, this work is also at the forefront of the use of new digital technologies in artistic production. Taking mapping as its common theme, it proposes a bold and adventurous chart for the direction of visual art in the twenty-first century.
