Description

"With the advent of the rhumb line — a line of constant bearing or loxodrome — a cognitive pattern developed in the Western world that allowed the possibility to conceive pillage on voyages of discovery. Inherent in the Rhumb Line is an imperative for use — regardless of consequence — a flattened convolution that marries landscape with loot and preordination. Inherent in the Rhumb Line is a silent 7 minute motion drawing." — Moved Pictures
