Synopsis

Transforming the map of Paris, these bright, complex images move from the analog to the electronic, from careful cartography to abstract improvisation, from the impersonal to intensely subjective. Appropriating the cultural classic, the Michelin atlas, Jonathan Price imitates the character Jed Martin in Michel Houellebecq's novel, La Carte et le Territoire, who takes the Michelin maps as a starting point and presents enlarged versions in the gallery. But Price crops, compares small, medium, and large versions; washes out the colors; accentuates the lines; inserts selfies, and adds artifacts showing what software he uses to analyze the original, by destroying it. Insisting on the importance of the computer as an art tool, Price attacks the user interface of the original paper map, while transparently showing the toolbars that he uses to explore. An exhibition at MuseumZero, the virtual space.
