As a staging of the island of Lilliput which Jonathan Swift describes in his famous novel Gulliver’s Travels (1726), Michelin’s work is divided into a museum, internet and mobile phone island. It imitates the public square of a museum in which the visitors can have photos taken of themselves that are then archived in the internet, transformed into panoramas that can be downloaded to mobiled phones again.
