Drawing from the relentless lists of ethnicities, populations and life expectancies recorded in the CIA Factbook, Bufardeci and Young compose a series of panoramic micro-landscapes of skin employing digital and acoustic instruments. Skin Quartet was presented as a part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival, October 2003.
