Meridian 7.2
2026
DALL-E 3 + custom cartographic framework
2048 × 4096 px (multi-panel)
AAX-2026-03-0003
Li Wei's contribution charts an imaginary meridian — longitude 7.2° in a coordinate system of her own invention. Using AI as a cartographic tool, she generated landscapes along this invented line of longitude, creating a travelogue of places that exist only in the model's probability distribution. Each panel represents one degree of latitude along Meridian 7.2.
Curator's Note
Li Wei treats AI not as a generator but as a survey instrument for impossible places. The systematic approach — one generation per degree of latitude along a fictitious meridian — imposes a rigorous conceptual framework that elevates the results beyond illustration into genuine cartographic art.
