Searching
Nearly 10,000 satellites now orbit Earth, passing over our
heads unseen. A few hundred of those, however, are large
and close enough to be seen as flashes of reflected
sunlight.
These few brilliant specks of light can be seen during
daylight hours if one only knows when and where to look.
The possibility of catching a first-hand glimpse of a satellite
in action is the impetus for the compulsive actions that
created these photographs and installation.
The over 2000 original images in the exhibition are
displayed in 3 distinct areas, a processing station, a
projected high-speed slide-show and an analysis station.
The sound-scape in the installation is comprised of
recordings from the electronic data transmissions of
satellites.
Visitors to the installation were encouraged to sift through the
prints and take one away with them.
