Remote Sensing the Arctic: An Exploration of Non-Human Perspectives of the Territory

Peer-reviewed journal article published in ‘Evental Aesthetics’, an independent journal of philosophy.

The article explores ways in which the expanded ecological perspectives of animals and machines in the Arctic can inspire reconfigured representations of and interactions with distant ecologies.

From undersea perspectives of whales and plankton, to the idiosyncrasies of gaps and glitches in machine vision: the piece contends with ways in which non-human perspectives can inform new approaches to computation in the production of maps, models, and images of the far north – in pursuit of expanded ecological imaginaries, beyond the dominant influence of extractive industries and nation states.
