The artists

This work takes the form of a historic globe in a table, whose dimensions have derived from Soane’s breakfast table. Soane depicted similar tables in the drawings that his office produced. However, instead of showing the countries of the world, the globe that Langlands & Bell have created depicts the air routes of the world. Visitors to the Museum can move the globe in all directions to reveal different views.
