Artist research: Trevor Paglen, The Other Night Sky

Trevor Paglen's series, The Other Night sky shows images of classified American satellites in the night sky. The project uses data produced by a network of amateur satellite trackers, the images are made using a large format camera, telescopes aswell as other devices. I think this project is fascinating as it looks at the idea of secrecy and shows a hidden reality, that is the "black world" of the United States Government. Also i really like the colours vividness in the images as i think it heightens the visual impact.
