For many years, we were clear on describing our habitat. It was very easy to establish our environment. There were two main groups; the ones who lived in the city the and ones who lived in the countryside. Opposite places that still exist, but that today, are more difficult to define their limits. Technology redefined these limits, and globalization gives us the chance to be anywhere, and at the same time in different places, connected online with live experiences, VR, and social networks.

The world in which we live now, technology is the environment that defines us, that represents our reality. An artist can spend his entire life between his computer, his paintings and art galleries; his/her/the reality is measured in pixels, with an irrepressible and immeasurable speed of information. The screen is how we connect to the world, with a completely new and increasingly understandable language. There is an open illusion: the idea of a space that would not only be visible, but the mental prolongation of what we see. The artist is a “link” between nature and the city, between geographies, and between the digital image and painting. Artists are not only in museums, you can find them on the streets, in the landscape and inside computers. The combination of these worlds is generating a new species of artists who serve as connectors for both worlds.They are discovering a new space represented in this virtual reality. Nowadays, two points not only generate a line: two virtual points generate a connection between users.
That’s how Web Landscape concept emerges. During centuries, artists painted what they saw or believed; they painted the gods, the emperors, the kings, their battles, still lifes, portraits and landscapes. Today, we spend our life /time/ hours immersed on the internet, our window is a computer screen, we live in a “web landscape”.
Web Maps is a series of internet social network portraits over old National Geographic maps of my Grandfather, a mix of the old, the history, and the new internet globalization.
