This video explores how the systems we use to orient ourselves shape our understanding of the world. Centred on Null Island, a fictional location at 0° latitude and 0° longitude used by mapping systems as a placeholder for missing or inaccurate geographical data, the work considers how the worlds we navigate are shaped by systems of belief, technology and imagination.
Combining footage from a method acting course I attended in Los Angeles with conversations with Dave, a former Wall Street computer programmer and flat earth believer, the video explores how we create and navigate our own versions of reality. Drawing together GPS mapping, financial systems, the eden project, 4d cinema tutorials and conspiracy theories the video examines the ways in which we construct and shape the worlds we choose to inhabit.
Screened at Nottingham Contemporary, 2021.
