Through the discussions of our first group Paradigm Map, the shift away from a static map towards a mode of operations began. Working with an Encyclopedia as an artifact of truth and fact, we begin to questions its validity through moves of additions and subtractions to the datum. Each of these moves question specific topics towards each of our thesis and begin to reference people, projects and texts with (in)/out of the discipline that strengthen each thesis polemic.

| Travelogues : Adding New Entries |
A short story by Jorge Luis Borges called "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" speaks of a bootlegged encyclopedia with an additional set of pages not referenced in the index. It contains the information for a country call Uqbar. The article in the encyclopedia references three books about the place, one which is discovered. Either this is an exceptional hoax with all the basis covered to back up the argument or a unique discovery that is usually missed. It begins to question the content, validity and truth of the author and book.
