A curious blueprint of the sky conveys reciprocity between orbital and terrestrial space. It explores how satellites shape more-than-human ecosystems, from landscapes designed to calibrate aerial photography, to the environmental damage of rocket launch sites.
Through drawing, animation and Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) imaging, the work engages with the transmission and decoding of satellite imagery, finding historical resonances in early observation of Mars that echo questions when observing the technological expansion of own planet.
Produced during a 2024 Fulbright Scholarship at the Expanded Animation Research + Practice Program, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California.
