WOLFLAND

By Antti Tenetz

A video and wall sculpture showing the movement of gps-tracked wolves in Finland.

Wolfland explores the territory between humans and non humans, specifically wolves. Outfitted with gps collars, the wolves reveal themselves as a mobile force whose influence extends far and wide. Tracking data artfully reveals their roving journeys, while their exact gps location is kept secret to protect the wolves. New technologies like underwater and aerial cameras, global positioning and drones enable new ways of seeing—expanding our present view of nature and time. How can we visualize the presence and impact of animals in the changing environment?
