A landscape that exists at no real-world coordinate. CartographAI trained on topographic maps from six continents and generated terrain that belongs to none of them — mountains with no geological history, rivers that follow no watershed logic, coastlines that border no ocean. A place that is everywhere and nowhere, purely algorithmic geography.
Curator's Note
CartographAI confronts a fundamental question: can a landscape be beautiful if it could never exist? The answer, evidently, is yes. These coordinates reference nothing, yet the eye reads them as 'place' — proof that our perception of landscape is as much pattern recognition as memory.
