The ongoing mediation between the ever proliferating networks and the international boundary of maps has mediated the collective media of transportation as an additive mean of responding to the possibility of generating community and diversified understanding of visualization through understanding scale and media. This installation of the hanging Attiko Metro tickets are to show the diversity in a site specific context, deliberating and identifying the importance of the collective which mediates the public, and how the public utilizes infrastructure. Through collecting old/used metro cards, the tickets will be hung in a manner where by it would represent the ATTIKO Underground Map. The initial map would not be noticeable until someone stands parallel, underneath, the installation itself, then the clear perspective of the Athens Underground map would be revealed.
Otherwise, from a distance, the tickets, hung in a poetic forest of transparent fishing lines, would look to the stranger like a repetitive diagram of an impermeable network/infrastructure.
