Satellite Art
Tears of the Thaw by Santiago Espeche

Satellite art is a manifestation of a technique at the service of a narrative aesthetic. This technique consists in the digital intervention on satellite imagery. Just as it used for scientific means, it consists in the application of false color to the infinite information obtained by earth observation satellites. Topography and clouds manifest themselves in a neo-figurative language. Through shadowing (with a histogram proper to scientific procedure) and framing, the information undesired for the for the story purpose, is left behind. There are, in our minds, beings who wish to be heard. They exist just as long as they are perceived.
