Zusammenfassung
The presentation will depart from the method of Geocinema, which is to examine
infrastructures of earth-sensing data as forms of cinema. Drawing on their recent fieldwork on
the Digital Belt and Road Initiative in China and their subsequent documentary, Making of
Earths (2020), Solveig Suess and Asia Bazdyrieva will speak on the techniques of earth sensing,
vast resource extraction, and present day demands aimed towards battling a future of climate
change. While simple sets of data are accrued from geological to techno-political formations,
they translate into the many versions of Earths. These large-scale imaging operations feed-back
and circulate across scales of the body, the apparatus, the landscape.
