METABOLIC BORNEO, 2025 (15:34)

Written & Mapped by Malcolm Wyer

This short mapping video explores the energy and resource flows that shape one of the world’s most biodiverse regions. Combining hundreds of maps into a geospatial tapestry, Metabolic Borneo traces how societies and ecosystems interact under the pressures of extraction and conservation. The result is a visual meditation on Borneo’s “social-ecological metabolism,” where life, landscape, and economy are inseparably entwined.

BORNEO METABOLIK, 2025 (15:34)

Ditulis & Dipetakan oleh Malcolm Wyer

Video pemetaan singkat ini mengeksplorasi aliran energi dan sumber daya yang membentuk salah satu wilayah dengan keanekaragaman hayati terkaya di dunia. Dengan menggabungkan ratusan peta menjadi sebuah permadani geospasial, Metabolic Borneo menelusuri bagaimana masyarakat dan ekosistem berinteraksi di bawah tekanan ekstraksi dan konservasi. Hasilnya adalah sebuah meditasi visual tentang “metabolisme sosial-ekologis” Kalimantan, di mana kehidupan, lanskap, dan ekonomi saling terkait secara tak terpisahkan.
