One of the hopes that I have for tools like satellite imaging, which were until quite recently the domain of governments and large organizations, is that there is a resourcefulness there — that they can inform a sense of clarity in raising political questions, and that they can be tools to question rather than reinforce power.

The thing that sometimes feels dispiriting is that, you know, one can be constantly seeing and the seeing is not enough.

I think understanding the kind of relationships between those “images,” or sensed visual data, and the physical things that are happening — the chemical makeup of a scene, or whatever — offers a way of seeing that’s not rendered in just the purely “human eye” sense.

One reason I find satellite imaging appealing is the realization that there are often lots of different ways of seeing and understanding something. Satellite imaging affords a huge amount of richness in terms of informational content.

I’m increasingly interested in the questions “what do you do with this data? How do you use those things?” That’s the part that’s most interesting to me: how do you go from observation to something actually changing?

When I think about the overlaps of networked technologies and ecologies, what I’m most interested in are the ways we can use technological tools of scientific inquiry properly and with political agency. How can we develop technology in a way that will help us with these huge climate questions we're facing?
