Globodrome is an enquiry on the representations of the Earth using a virtual globe, which follows the same itinerary as Phileas Fogg and Passepartout in Around the World in Eighty Days.


The itinerary follows the latitudes from East to West and crosses all the meridians of the globe, from London to the Mont-Cenis, from Brindisi to the Red Sea, fromthe Suez Canal to a series of artificial paradises, from the detroit of Bab-el-Mandeb to a saudi princess, from the disappeared spaces of Aden to Socotra, from Mumbai and Benares to Kolkota and the detroit of Malacca in Singapore and its Komodo dragon, from the sea of China to Kong Kong, from the bay of Taiwan to Yokohama, from the 180th meridian to San Francisco, from Sacramento to Reno, from the Mustang Ranch toInterstate 80, from Salt Lake City to Des Moines, from Chicagoland to New York, and from Dublin to London.

Globodrome is an essay on the representations of the world at the age of geosynchronous satellites, a photographic, historical, geographical, topological enquiry which questions the status of a virtual globe that gives to the explorer a deictic view, and transforms the Earth in a fascinating and dramatic Metaverse.
