This installation converts the real-time location information of the International Space Station (ISS) and the difference in distance from Chicago into the movement of a DC motor.
If the distance is farther, the motor moves slower; if the distance is closer, it moves faster.
The motivation behind this work was the desire to create a moment of reflection that reminds us that extraordinary phenomena, such as events occurring in geostationary orbit far from our living, are in fact deeply connected to and beneficial in our everyday lives.
By translating these distant occurrences into a more familiar form, an installation, I aim to bring the seemingly remote closer to our tangible experience.
