This workshop focuses on the ways in which the earth is visualized through technologically lead perspectives and how this has led to new understandings in our relationship to the environment. Referencing images produced from both historical and emerging forms of advanced visual technologies such as spacecraft photography, popular images of amateur drone operators and remote algorithmic sensing, this panel of speakers will present on the creative and critical potential that is afforded through the aesthetics of such distributed perceptions of the earth. The discussion will explore the notion of ’vision’ not only as an act of sight and/or the representation of a site, but also as a speculative approach towards the role of imagination and the possibility of empathy on a planetary scale.
