EXACTITUDE IN SCIENCE - The project is a
meditation on Jorge Luis Borges’ short story ‘On Exactitude in
Science’. Borges describes an empire in which cartography attains
such a high status, that its cartographers
draw ever larger maps, eventually leading to one drawn to scale 1:1
and coinciding with the empire point by point.
This absurd scientific effort is eventually given up - the map left
to fall to ruins: ‘In the Deserts of the
West, still today, there are Tattered Ruins
of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there
is no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography.’
The project interprets this 1:1 map as a machine - a map
machine.
Thus, it becomes a map that is incessantly changing, a map that is
operated by people, a map that has taken over its territory and
fully replaced it. Alluding to the ruins of
the Borgesian map this machine is explored in a state of disrepair -
its story is told in form of a drawn travelogue: The Journey to the
Ruins of the Map Machine. On that journey,
six components of the machine are shown, their function explained
from the perspective of an archeologist
interpreting their remains.
Some of the components are of a sensory nature, allowing the machine
to perceive the territory, others are elements of a large scale
landscape computer, enabling the machine to process
the perceived information. The
drawings combine the notion of the map machine with that of the
Arcadian ruin. In the state of ruin, map machine and territory are
finally reconciled - slowly growing into one another.
