After being rescued from his set-adrift-by-pirates state, Gulliver meets the people of the floating island of Laputa, immediately realizing the inhabitants are a very distracted people who have a limited attention span and very narrow-minded interests. To a fault, their only concerns are science, and music, and philosophical ponderings.

The map is composed of a series of screenshots of Sherkin Island from Google maps. Using the satellite view tool I zoomed in as close as possible to the terrain of the Island, moving left to right, top to bottom. These images were then printed off and stitched together in a grid pattern. I initially printed the map a couple of years ago to explore notions of boundaries and borders, ruins and abandoned buildings, and to familiarise myself with this island where I currently live. Now, as I reexamine it I am struck by how intrusive it is and I am reminded of Glissant’s talks of a “right to opacity” on the island of Martinique.

I employed this map as a template to superimpose my own disorientated mind cartographies: using the language of mapping to explore connections within the island, organisations and themes which might form the basis of an expanded eco-art project within the local environment and community. More layers will be added as time goes on, in a deep mapping process which will simultaneously clarify and obscure.
