Anatomy of a Viral Landscape

Maps are flat renderings of 3Dimensional landscapes. They delineate countries, continents, states and bodies of water. Artist Rebecca DiDomenico has cut through layers of code to rearrange geography.

The maps separate and unite simultaneously. We live in times where wars are fought between countries over geographical and political boundaries and are currently facing a worldwide pandemic of unprecedented proportions. And yet, we are all interconnected on our singular planet spinning in space. The world we inhabit is rendered in Anatomy of a Viral Landscape as ephemeral networks with intricate interconnections, similar to the veins inside our bodies. The paths we traverse are both intentional journeys and the inevitable misadventures of unintended side trips. All become part of our destinies, the forks we choose and those we leave behind. We live in the gaps, in the interzones. There is no polarity of black and white or good and bad.
