Is it possible to connect two points on Earth based on their geographic characteristics? And more specifically, on their height differences? This machine-instrument seeks to create imaginary topographies through the height difference of two places on the planet based on digitally collected data. In other words, the project is a method and a subsequent representation that metaphorically connects two points on the planet by means of environment-related data.
