The landscape is familiar to everyone, and Mark Dorf uses it as a platform for complex, abstract ideas, inviting the viewer into a familiar space and then into an altered world. Translations gathers two series: //_PATH examines how contemporary technology and infinite connectivity transform the way we see and understand our surroundings; Emergence, made as artist in residence at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, looks at how science translates the world into quantifiable parts. The photograph on your device is not the moment pictured but an abstracted version made for consumption; the ecologist’s data is not the landscape but a numerical version of it.
