Seeing Spacecraft Earth

Overview

A pulsating cosmic montage; an alternative view of the seminal Earthrise photograph. We are all astronauts, whether we like it or not. Seeing Spacecraft Earth is the third in a trilogy of films composed from NASA’s publicly available image and sound archives. At once playful and precise, each film applies a structuralist rigor to reanimate the vast archive that frames public conceptions of the universe. The complete trilogy includes: Seeing Spacecraft Earth (2021), Dear Opportunity (2019), The Known Universe (2016)
