G. LINES / SERIES
​

In an era where every journey is pre-ordered and protected by the millimeter-precise polylines of Google Maps, the series explores the subtle boundary between convenience and sensory subtraction. The habits, deviations, and unforeseen moments that once defined the discovery of urban space are systematically smoothed away by an interface that promises absolute orientation. The work turns digital cartography into a critical mirror, revealing how the flawless optimization of a route ironically corresponds to a progressive impoverishment of the travel experience.

In un’epoca in cui ogni tragitto è preordinato e protetto dalla precisione millimetrica delle polilinee di Google Maps, la serie esplora il sottile confine tra comodità e sottrazione sensoriale. Attitudini, deviazioni e imprevisti che un tempo definivano la scoperta dello spazio urbano vengono sistematicamente levigati da un’interfaccia che promette orientamento assoluto. L'opera ribalta la cartografia digitale in uno specchio critico, svelando come la perfetta ottimizzazione del percorso corrisponda, ironicamente, a un progressivo impoverimento dell'esperienza del viaggio.
