In Greek legends, Null Island is said to be the origin of all destructive monsters. It had then become the coordinate (0,0) that the sea explorers used as references to directions, and in more recent history, it also became a virtual location where digital waste gather. Null Island, hence, has its own life both as an ancient legend and as a trash bin in this digital age. Regardless of its status, how people assign meanings to this island signify humanβs attempt to understand the relations between oneself and the worldβs terrain that is so vast it seems boundless, to anchor ourselves so as to be reminded of our own presence or its past, or to imagine new relations of ourselves and the surrounding. It is an act of map-making. Thus, this exhibition, MAPPA, is the exploration of the possibilities of map-making in the time when game developers gave us Wold edit or Mod, a tool with which we could upend the existing physics.
