Our short film, “Planetary Vision”, is on view at the Palazzo Diedo in the exhibition “The Next Earth: Computation, Crisis, Cosmology”—part of the 2025 Venice Biennale. Director Peter Galison narrates this meditation on the creation of an Earth-scale radio telescope to observe unimaginably distant blackholes.
Peter Galison, Robert Gerard Pietrusko, and myself have collaborated on a short film specifically for the Venice Biennale that meditates on the coordination of multiple radio telescopes around the world to create an Earth-sized “camera”—a transformation of our planet into an instrument for “seeing” far beyond our own Milky Way galaxy. Our film serves as a preview for our entry in the inaugural edition of the interactive Antikythera journal, an MIT Press publication.
