Nonexistent landscapes: when technology transforms the artist's gaze.

An experiment that explores how digital tools change the way we think and, with it, the way we create."

Postcards from islands that don't exist:
a passport to a new year.

Every journey leaves memories: images, sensations, fragments of places that will never be the same again. With them, we wanted to bid farewell to 2022. We handed an algorithm twelve real corners of our travels and let artificial intelligence dream them anew, weaving them together into landscapes no map records: children bathing off the coast of La Graciosa at the foot of a Lutheran church, a van crossing a glacial lagoon in Timanfaya.

A window onto a paradise of your own.

From that dream shared between memory and machine came 64 unique prints, one for each of the 64 friends, clients and collaborators who received them. Each artwork travelled with a fold-out narrating its uniqueness and access to islas.travel, redesigned at the time to hold the contents of the islands explored. No one received the same paradise.

This project is designed to establish connections between the materiality of paper and the meta-content an artwork can hold.
