Diller Scofidio + Renfro
Based on a prompt set out by French philosopher and urbanist Paul Virilio, this dynamic cartography was created by American artists and architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with architect-artist Laura Kurgan and statistician-artist Mark Hansen with a core team of scientists and geographers for the exhibition Native Land, Stop Eject in 2008, and is now part of the Fondation Cartier collection.
EXIT was commissioned by the Fondation Cartier and produced in the form of a 45-minute immersive panoramic installation. In November 2015, EXIT was fully updated, reflecting the evolution of the data since it was first shown in 2008. This shorter single channel edit is based upon the updated work.
In collaboration with the Palais de Tokio the innovative installation EXIT is presented there from November 25, 2015 to January 10, 2016, on the pccasion of the Cop21, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change.
