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.
