Orbitando Satélites
ORBITANDO SATÉLITES
Orbitando Satélites propone un ejercicio de visibilización de estos objetos, rarae aves, que operan
en registros dificiles de captar con nuestros sentidos habituales.
En un intento por invertir la lógica del panóptico, vigilamos a los satélites vigilantes, exploramos
sus implicaciones políticas como sistema opaco de control, así como sus posibles capacidades de
liberación. Investigamos su poética con ejercicios de visualización y creación para acceder a una
mitología y incluso una nueva astrología.
Y, finalmente, diseñamos nuestro propio satélite que será lanzado en globo en el mes de julio,
coincidiendo con la exposición donde se visualiza nuestra declaración.

From the 10th to the 14th of May 2011 the Plataforma Cero of LABoral welcomes an international
meeting to critically and artistically investigate satellites, that fundamental, often occult, sign of our
times.
"Galileo collapsed Geocentricity but this has been reconstructed through the unstoppable and
insatiable ambition for connectivity that is today represented by the ring of artifical geostationary
satellites. The Earth thus re-becomes an immobile object in the middle of a spinning "universe"."
Mathurin Milan
Orbitando Satélites proposes an exercise in the visibilisation and investigation of these "rarae
aves" that operate in habitually imperceptible frequencies and distances. We listen to them with
DIY antenas and radios, showing how to locate them and observe them with free hardware and
software.
In the tradition of the independent groups involved in the creation of free/libre infrastructures the
meeting unites amateurs and experts, from various countries and cultures, to develop a declaration
which poetically sketches this occult ring that surrounds us.
Trying to invert the logic of the panopticum, we observe the satelites that are observing us,
exploring their political dimensions as an opaque system of control as well as a potentially
liberating force. Using visualisation and play techniques we investigate the poetics of satelites,
developing new astrologies and detailled mythologies.
And, finally, we design our own communications / observation satelite, to be launched in July 2011
by balloon, around the same time as the inauguration which will visualise our investigation.
