0°N 0°E (2020)

0°N 0°E is an invitation into a collective, technologically mediated memory of nature. It refers to the coordinates where the Null Island is imagined to exist. The null value is attributed when data is absent, thus all those images, files, registrations that are uploaded online without specified geo-position, are erroneously associated with the location “0,0” by the software. In this way, the Null Island becomes an archive of objects that don’t belong to any specific place anymore. Moreover, the elements used come from archives from biologists, geologists, archeologists who document specific locations and objects for survey and conservation. In this way, the work carries as well an ecological question: how can natural environments be saved and preserved in a digital format? This work is presented in collaboration with FIBER; an Amsterdam based platform and festival operating at the intersection of audiovisual art, technologie, ecology and performances. FIBER supports and presents emerging artistic makers and thinkers whose work offers innovative and critical perspectives on our rapidly changing world.
