Nicolas MontgermontVery cool to see a lot of people on Mastodon! Here is a little communication on a work:
New performance "An Eye from Above" premiere in tsonami Festival - Valparaiso - 18 jan 25.
For over 20 years, the three NOAA satellites have been crossing our sky at over 20,000 km/h, continuously scanning the Earth's clouds and radiant energies.
An Eye from above is a performance that attempts to receive a live signal from one of these satellites, using an adapted antenna and a radio tuned to 137 MHz. As the satellite rises above our horizon, its signal slowly emerges from the surrounding noise, giving rise to a characteristic pulsation. The antenna acts as a revealer, making perceptible the electrical energy that passes through our bodies and our environment amidst a crowd of other artificial signals.
Poetry of analog protocols: this pulsation can be decoded into an image. Slowly, line by line, a nephanalysis of the 2000 km that surround us appears. Clouds and infrared radiation from the ground are displayed, offering a shift from our point of view to that of a space object.
