»Indirect Flights«, an online work by Joe Hamilton with sound by J.G. Biberkopf and supported by The Moving Museum, is a sprawling landscape of layered images. Raw materials, satellite images, organic textures, brush strokes, and architectural fragments are all blended together into a dense panorama extending in all directions. As you pan across the terrain like Google Maps, the layers move at different speeds giving the illusion of depth, constantly changing what is hidden and exposed. This shifting composition is an attempt to depict the contemporary landscape, in a moment defined by the proliferation of digital technologies and the global transportation of bodies, commodities, and goods.
The documentation of the project is available online.
