Contemporary artist Trevor Paglen is known for his political and mind-blowing art pieces on global mass surveillance, data collection, and artificial intelligence. This visually stunning and immersive film follows Paglen as he travels through the desolate Nevada desert while discussing the motivation for his latest and most audacious project: launching a satellite into orbit. Stunning cinematography, trippy computer graphics, and a percussive score imbue this compelling documentary with an ethereal tone that perfectly captures the provocative and breathtaking beauty of Paglen’s work.

MUSIC NOTES

Helena Czajka was given access to NASA’s library of recorded sounds in space. Helena created a unique and experimental film score by manipulating these sounds to create music. Every cue in the film incorporates at least one NASA sound recording, and many are made up of only NASA space sounds.
