A Distant View IV2017

A Distant View is a series of reliefs inspired by Moon images from 1960s and 70s orbital missions. Laser technology scanned the lunar surface, translating it into binary data to create detailed pictures. This series reinterprets this process by converting some of these images back into three dimensions. The physical gaps in the reliefs represent areas where digital data is absent, creating shadows that reveal the data's origins. Illuminated from above, the reliefs appear to show a realistic lunar surface, but closer examination exposes the data's hidden shadows.
