In Episode 4 of Mapping the Planetary, Ryan Bishop, Professor of Global Art and Politics at the University of Southampton, joins us to explain how the technological sphere increasingly shapes the geosphere of the Planet.
Bishop unpacks the concepts of poly-scalar remote sensing and the concealed dimensions of tele-technology, reflecting on how media technologies intersect with governance and military power.
How do remote sensing systems operating at multiple scales transform our relationship with the environment? In what ways might hidden tele-technologies constrain—or empower—individual and collective agency?
