The temporary art project 'Landfa
 ll' by the artists Elodie Hiryczu
 k and Sjoerd van Oevelen consists
  of 10 large panorama billboards
 with photographs of the youngest
 island in the world, Surtsey in I
 celand. The small island, which i
 s of equal size as the financial
 district Zuidas Amsterdam, has be
 come a protected area since its d
 iscovery, and is only accessible
 for the purpose of scientific res
 earch.

 Hiryczuk and Van Oevelen reconstr
 uct Surtsey to scale by placing t
 he bill-boards according to their
  original geographical positions.
  In 2003 they were granted permis
 sion to take pictures of the land
 scape during a scientific expedit
 ion.

 The website contains selected tex
 ts and images of the artists' exp
 edition. It provides additional i
 nformation on the art project; mo
 re detailed documentation materia
 l is made available when a respec
 tive square in the map is selecte
 d and enlarged. Step by step the
 user zooms in or out of the topog
 raphy of Surtsey.

 The closer he gets, the more deta
 ils he sees: the daily routes, th
 e 10 locations of the panorama ph
 otographs, the original GPS coord
 inates and additional hotspots wi
 th linked texts and images. Even
 the sleeping tents, the storage h
 ut and the landing platform of th
 e helicopter have been considered
  in the map.

 A new way of combining new and ol
 d media, a digital map that allow
 s the user to access the target a
 rea in different dimensions. The
 grid becomes a scalable navigatio
 n tool that filters the amount of
 information.
