3: Satellite Wall.

Visible from Space

A concept originally proposed in 1985 by Rob Pepperell and Mike Phillips with the Photogrametry department at the University College London. A satellite mapping the earth (3meters sections a minute) takes stereoscopic images to reveal the height of various landmasses, such as trees, hills and mountains.

The proposal constructs a wall of timelapsed humans travelling across the ground at the same speed as the satellite. The resultant image, above, maps this temporal disturbance as a part of the landscape.
