Ink drawing on a Lambda print

When navigating the chapters of the Traveler's Journal, people leave data tracks, like footprints. The data gathers in a text file to include date, time, server of origin and the journal entry visited. I filter this data and interpret it directly on the digital print for a Nowhere — a print of a 3D landscape of Sunset/Sunrise. Thus global network activity is drawn into the story from which it was generated, resulting in a feedback loop between real and fictional places, and physical and fictional time. Here, the drawing is a swarm of time stamps that hit the server over a period of several months.
