Atelier Rui Barros

Some of you may be aware that one of my work series regards mapping. It started with the idea of tracing limitations and outlines on to otherwise seamlessly abstract patterns.
This all stems from the concept that mapping is just an artificial form for reasoning, organising, but more than often as form to exact power (hence the concept of borders).

In the midst of this research you end up going into some rabbit holes, like the ones that I’ve just stumbled into: conspiracy theorists and the visual mapping of the deep state.
It doesn’t get juicer than this! Worth taking your time to zoom in.
