Weather Journals 137.6 MHz
Celestial space has always represented the the boundless infinite, which implies that no matter how much you alter life on earth, when you look at the sky, you become aware that most of the world still remains beyond your control.
Among the tools of the Anthropocene, the Satellite orbiting the Earth — is a technological entity that has its origins in the context of military-meteorological technological development in the 1960s. With the help of the Satellite, man has penetrated the atmosphere, the last planetary ecosystem that until now was relatively independent and inaccessible. Accordingly, the fundamental relations between man and the sky have ceased to be fundamental.
Complex technology such as satellites reduce human existence to a calculative, instrumental relationship with the surrounding world. Consequently we have learned to view the planet as a resource that can be exploited and controlled.
This series of weather satellite images was captured by using radio hardware and software, such as an antenna and RTL SDR, that I used to track down and record the satellite radio signal passing above my geographical location, on the frequency of 137.6 MHz. I captured the images at the Rupert Residency, in Vilnius, Lithuania. With these series I want to expand the rigid boundaries of scientific knowledge and open it up for more open-ended narratives, in relation to weather, as a hyperobect distributed in time and space.
