““call out” addresses the rapidly expanding satellite network Starlink, developed by SpaceX to create global internet coverage through thousands of privately owned satellites. While satellites promise connectivity, the project raises questions about control, data collection, ownership, and governance in outer space - a legally ambiguous global commons.
The work visualizes satellite movements in real time through five dynamic scenes. As satellites intersect, symbolic explosions generate debris, and system overload produces visual noise reminiscent of signal failure.
A custom-built tracking system maps satellite positions onto LED stalks, while a multichannel sound system sonifies orbital data spatially.
call out“ exposes the fragile balance between technological expansion, infrastructure control, and the limits of regulation in an increasingly privatized orbital environment.
