Analogous Landscape

2002-2005

Project Description

The objective of the Analogous Landscape: Rim of Fire project is to develop inferencing techniques for navigation of terrains of similar characteristic. At issue is whether navigation paths can be transposed by analogy on a selected terrain's other. To address this, initial expeditions will be analyzed to produce predictive navigation scenarios that can be imposed on the succession of expeditions. Two mountains have been ascended, Mt. Shasta in California, and Mt. Fuji in Japan.

Exhibitions:

The San Jose Musem of Art, 2005.
