Experimental GIS Capture 2018
‘H0ly Ωsland’ explores the cultural constructs of natural and virtual landscapes and the notion of a contemporary sublime. The project utilises digital topographies and remote sensing GIS systems as tools for dynamic storytelling of folklore and collective memory in capturing the changing historical perceptions of Holy Island, Lindisfarne. This historic site, dating back to around 634 AD when an Irish monk established the first abbey, offers a rich tapestry for digital topographical reinterpretation.
GIS systems become tools to augment and reconstruct new narratives by intentionally misusing remote sensing techniques against instrumental precision, exact representation of scale and volumetric totality.
