do it yourself: how to make a new world map.

Do it yourself: how to make a new world map (2009) is part of the mural, interactive performance and installation work Terra Incognita, et cetera (2009).

Terra Incognita, et cetera (2009) is an art exhibition opening party game where audience members can participate in cutting up a blank map of the world into bordered territories. Presented as a party game, Terra Incognita, et cetera is an exercise in collective painting and, simultaneously, a spin on collaboration and territorial marking.

Thanks to everyone who was involved – especially the audience at Bus Gallery, Melbourne, and Centraal Museum, Utrecht.

Special thanks to Dave Watson for voice-over, Daniel Wolfson for part of acting direction and camerawork.
