_{"How can we visit another part of the world without physically traveling? In this exhibition, eleven international artist groups from Münster and Tokyo present their works/practices, which have emerged since July 2021 from the online workshop "Avatar mapping Münster - Tokyo". During the global pandemic, digital communication has freed us from the limitations of physical movement, yet it cannot fully replace physical presence and interaction. In this workshop, digital communication tools like Zoom, Skype & Co. were used as extensions of analog working methods - and imagination. The participants explored the potential of traveling beyond the limits of physical mobility. Based on the project "Avatar Tours", which the Swiss/Japanese artist duo Willimann/Arai had developed over distance during the global pandemic, the participants of the Kunstakademie Münster and the Tokyo University of the Arts (GEIDAI) explored "sites" in intercontinental groups and created their own "mappings"."}
