Primary and Other Remote Locations

(0)

Algorithmic pattern-matching of the landscape (utilizing the C5 Landscape Database) on Lemay Island and the Silver Island Mountains, Box Elder County UT, Aug 12th-15th, 2K5.

For "Primary and Other Remote Locations", the South East corner the Center for Land Use Interpretation's Remote Location property on Lemay Island was used as an input point.

A database containing topographical data for the surrounding area (including Lemay Island, Floating Island and the Silver Island mountain range which includes Crater Island) was searched, seeking points with similar topographical characteristics. The database search isolated five topographical others of the CLUI Remote Location; or as we call them, the "Other Remote Locations".

The "Other Remote Locations" were visited with the help of GPS, four wheel drive, a[nd] hiking. The sites were documented, with the primary goal of producing landscape paintings in which agency of site selection, often assumed to be the natural province of the painter, is turned over to the algorithm and the data; digesting the landscape data through pattern matching, and allowing the data to tell us where to go.
