OVERMAP FOREST CLOUD



PROJECT DETAILS

CURATED BY: EStudio

DATE: 2020

Field work with a laser scanner in a forest. The laser scanner works in a similar way to a surface mapping sonar. The equipment creates a cloud of points in space that are only data and information in themselves. By amplifying the viewing area the conjunction of coordinates and data creates in our brain a perception of a known and familiar environment. Individually they are just points in space, together they are a forest. Paradox of human cognitive functioning.
We do not distinguish units. We are unaware of the complexity of matter creating an illusory schematization of separate units as larger, comprehensible units. Are we particles coexisting and interacting? Or are we complex units or entities that stand in a seed relationship?
