Earth_studies.jpg : journey to the digital image­surface of The Earth

Abstract

This paper addresses the relations of technology and the Earth focusing on what role technological apparatuses and their digital environments plays in the ecology of this planet. Through a model I call techno-spatial ecology these elements; the digital and physical are brought together in one interconnected system. This is described in the beginning of the paper and is followed by a discussion of research, my own works and art works by others that exemplify the different aspects of said ecology.
