A Panoptic Cartography of Remote Sensing

Landsat has been the longest-running program dedicated to remote sensing ever initiated, regularly imagining Earth’s landmasses since 1972. The distributed archive of data generated by the eight generations of satellites that followed one another in Low Earth orbit constitutes one of the largest col...

description Landsat has been the longest-running program dedicated to remote sensing ever initiated, regularly imagining Earth’s landmasses since 1972. The distributed archive of data generated by the eight generations of satellites that followed one another in Low Earth orbit constitutes one of the largest collection of images in history; most of the imagery served by Google Earth to the screens of billions of its daily users is still based on Landsat products.Looking at the history of Landsat – and exposing the early challenges around the acquisition, management and processing of data that the program had to face during its development – can be a productive way to question our current understanding of planetary-scale infrastructure and computation.The approach proposed by this project uses a series of visual props to advance literacy of geospatial data, and investigate the ways in which modernity’s terrestrial imaginary has been shaped over the past few decades.
