Foundland
Writers: Jack Mapange, Ashok Mathur, Maya Chowdhry, Hiromi Goto. Designer: Andy Campbell. Director: Steve Dearden.
“In October 2001 the four Foundland writers appeared at the Pancanadian Wordfest Calgary Banff International Writers Festival, and in the UK at Lancaster Literature Festival, Bradford Central Library, the University of Leeds and Birmingham Book Festival. They also gave workshops in Calgary, Leeds, Bradford, Birmingham and Ashok and Hiromi worked with writers in the Writing Squad in Sheffield.”
“The Foundland site is an exploration of how the web can complement live literature….The starting point for the site was an atlas, ripped up and given with the brief to the designer Andy Campbell. An atlas bridges the real and the imagined, it is scientific and symbolic, true and absurd, a calibration and a painting, it transforms reality into imagination so that we might navigate that reality.
“Within this old code—the Foundland project explores how we transcend the traditional demarcations and separations described by maps and territories to describe the transaxial world we are living in— the future.”
