Ingrid Burrington’s large-scale lenticular prints show politically and technologically significant sites – data centers, air bases, space stations, downlinks – captured by high-resolution aerial photography. The lenticulars show two versions of a single location at different points in time, to reveal the instability and shifting realities of satellite views. We see sites before and after data centers’ construction, building details camouflaged by filters, and whole locations blurred out in censorship. Originally built by the German Luftwaffe in 1943, Volkel Air Base is most notorious for its storage of American nuclear weapons, which may be why the site is blacked out and pixelated in this aerial imagery.
