ニューヨーク近代美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク近代美術館Instagram)「In #JuanDowney’s “Map of America,” swirls of color replace national borders and project the artist’s hopefulness about the potential of networked communication—what the artist called “invisible architecture”—to overcome the political and geographic separation of people across the Americas. Downey created this drawing in conjunction with a road trip from New York to the southern tip of Latin America, during which he filmed videos of and alongside different communities that he then “played back in different villages,” to share information and create cultural bridges. Downey later combined his video footage to create the 1976 installation “Video Trans America.” Optimistic about the potential of technology to connect geographically isolated people, in this drawing Downey uses the map as a site for projecting his idealistic vision of a borderless America, one unified by the movement of people and the electromagnetic waves which carry their stories on video.
