About the Item
In this project, the practice of flanneurship on satellite maps is studied. It involves searching for and collecting visual patterns of the Earth. However, during a long drift visibility limitations appear: some of the objects on the map are hidden or captured indistinctly. By adjusting the distance point of viewing the planet, the flaneur manages to experience a paradox of scale: farther does not mean to distinguish everything, closer does not mean to see everything.
Instructions for conducting a personal drift:
1. Sit comfortably.
2. Trust your intuition.
3. Start your drift.
For drifting, the site bestmaps is used.
