Nonexistent landscapes: when technology transforms the artist's gaze.

An experiment that explores how digital tools change the way we think and, with it, the way we create."

Thanks to technology, numerous artists have been able to transform their way of thinking and, consequently, of creating. Experiments like this one bring us close to those nonexistent latitudes that have been explored by many contemporary artists, from Joan Fontcuberta to Solimán López or Marc Lee.

Postcards from islands that don't exist:
a passport to a new year.

Every journey leaves memories: images, sensations, fragments of places that will never be the same again. With them, we wanted to bid farewell to 2022. We handed an algorithm twelve real corners of our travels and let artificial intelligence dream them anew, weaving them together into landscapes no map records: children bathing off the coast of La Graciosa at the foot of a Lutheran church, a van crossing a glacial lagoon in Timanfaya.

A window onto a paradise of your own.

De ese sueño compartido entre memoria y máquina nacieron 64 láminas únicas, una para cada uno de los 64 amigos, clientes y colaboradores que las recibieron. Cada obra viajaba acompañada de un desplegable que narraba su unicidad y de un acceso a islas.travel, rediseñada entonces para acoger los contenidos de las islas exploradas. Nadie recibió el mismo paraíso.

 

This project is designed to establish connections between the materiality of paper and the meta-content an artwork can hold.
