Reliquia de las disciplinas geográficas

Reliquia de las disciplinas geográficas is an installation with a hologram, a sculpture from a dingo and a video game. It deals with the visualisation of fantastic worlds that are just possible on a digital sphere and tries to place them on a real and existing place. Originally this project is based on the story ""Del rigor en la ciencia"" by Borges, the Argentinean writer. He describes a kingdom in which the art of the cartography was so spread that the scale of maps on paper got really close to the scale on real life; so the one from a province got as big as a regular city. The next generation of inhabitants decided not to take part in such a lunacy, so the existing maps were abandoned on the desert surrounding the city. They started to get damaged and fold, offering shelter to hobos and beasts of the desert of the west.
