1 - Finder aspect ratio as each country area is reproduced in the encyclopedia. Calculate the radius of the earth to size ratio. Ex: 1cm = 25.000.000cm. Earth radio = 6371 km: 25.000 = 25.484 cm.
2 - Measure 25,484 cm from the middle on the long side of the cardboard. Makes a compass by maintaining the wire at the bottom of the target point and the pencil at the 25,484cm and draw a curve stroke on to both the edges.
3 - Cut curve stroke out with a utility knife. This profile indicates the curve globe to the country area of the encyclopedia.
4 - Cut out a form in the polyfoam corresponding 1:1 to the country area of the encyclopedia by using the warm cutter. Remember to put on a mask as the fumes are toxic and causes headaches.
5 - Cut with a utility knife roughly into the basic shape of the profile. Continue with sandpaper until it is completely accurate.
6 - Edit shape in warm cutter and glue other polyfoam on to give the right distance unto the center of the earth globe is adapted to the different aspect ratio.
7 - Glue finally the country area of the curved shapely by cutting up the latitude and adjust by eye. Make a module for aspect ratio for each country in the encyclopedia.
8 - Complete an alu-pipe from North Pole to South Pole of the center globe and drag a wire through for hanging.
9 - Finish by hanging the new planet shape up in the attic with the heavy end down.

About the artists
Jette Gejl works with the organisational-like material and field of research. She is interested in the normative and conventional structures which we exist in - and continues to create in force of habits and social relations. In collaboration with artists, theorist, politicians and the audients, Gejl creates an artistic space in a given, familiar context. Here she reorganizes known codex’s and challenges well-known ways of organizing, to thereby create new declarations which can expand the interpretation of our selves and each other.
Gejl is interested in experiencing which alternative possibilities that exists in the single, widespread structures. In her artistic work, she does not wish to reject the usual framework, but instead add an elasticity to the space in action, which expands the normative field. Her creations contain a curiosity to the way we see our selves - and our surroundings, which we can experience in new ways, in an overrun of the usual, through the meeting with the art in an expanded field.
Gejl therefore asks questions about which potentials and alternative views that rises when you process and challenges the well-known. She Challenges systems and interpersonal relations through an artistic reorganization of recognisable phenomena and everyday situations. Her artistic approach orients against the format of the product, were she challenges the concept of the artistic work, the situations around exhibitions, the participation of the audients as well as the autonomy of the arts and the role of both the artist and audients.
In the many works of Jette Gejl, the focus is on the immediate, affective and bodily recognisability. The artistic work invites, so to say, the audients in on safe ground, witch then again establishes a slip in normality. That which we register and immediately knows, take a sudden turn of events. Most of the work have even used a direct contact with its receiver to be able to release all of its aesthetic potential. Through interaction the work of art therefor points towards the opportunities to stagger and direct the attention to the new angles of common space of action.
