ORBITAL FIELD / EARTH IN VIEW

Every orbit is a moving point of view.

Select one object to reveal its trace in orbit and on Earth.

Every view begins somewhere.

Field, object, method, and question locate the work for now.

FIELD

Relational geography.

Space is read through boundary, adjacency, distance, scale, and encounter.

OBJECT

Earth under observation.

Measurements are conditioned by sensor, orbit, atmosphere, place, and time.

METHOD

Geographic computation.

GIS, remote sensing, visualization, and small instruments make assumptions operable.

CURRENT QUESTION

What changes when the viewpoint changes?

Scale, projection, representation, and observer alter what becomes legible.

COMMONS / SHARED FIELD

You are somewhere too.

Locate yourself relative to Wuhan, or read the anonymous field left by other visitors.

Location is private until you choose to light an approximate place. ◎ WUHAN / HOST

Thought kept with its conditions.

Before a claim hardens, keep its place, scale, source, and uncertainty.

Build the conditions of seeing.

Tools should make their scale, assumptions, and limits visible.

One archive, several orders.

Field, time, type, topic, trace, and geography preserve different relations.

Not everything that orients can be measured.

A life exceeds its coordinates without leaving geography.
