Celestial space has always represented the the boundless infinite in the collective consciousness, and that no matter how much humans alter life on earth, when we look at the sky, we become aware that most of the world still remains beyond our 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. Through the obscure top-down gaze of the satellite, humans have pierced the atmosphere, thus altering the foundational relationships that have been ascribed to the sky.
