*Project*

MAPS is a unique collaboration between British artist SONIC BOOM, and Swiss musicians SINNER DC. Originally created in 2013 for live performances at the Festival La Bâtie in Switzerland, MAPS combines music and visuals to create an immersive experience, inspired by Borges' reflection on the limits of representation*.

MAPS challenges the boundaries between art and reality, inviting you to explore a world where music and visuals converge in an expansive, surreal landscape. Dutch artist Space Is Green contributed the visual elements, which were crafted using a modified ZDoom game engine.

*"... In that Empire, the Art of Cartography reached such Perfection that the map of one Province alone took up the whole of a City, and the map of the empire, the whole of a Province.

In time, those Unconscionable Maps did not satisfy and the Colleges of Cartographers set up a Map of the Empire which had the size of the Empire itself and coincided with it point by point.

Less Addicted to the Study of Cartography, Succeeding Generations understood that this Widespread Map was Useless and not without Impiety they abandoned it to the Inclemencies of the Sun and of the Winters.

In the deserts of the West some mangled Ruins of the Map lasted on, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in the whole Country there are no other relics of the Disciplines of Geography."

Excerpt from Viajes de Varones Prudentes by Suarez Miranda, 1658.
