The brightness of the dark sky, 2024

Dimensions variable

I turn artificial light sources into the night sky.Using satellite images of the Earth at night as a basis for composition, and referring to images of the universe taken by the Hubble Telescope, I finally generated hundreds of starry sky images with the same composition as human-made light sources.

 

By misplacing artificial light and starlight at night, I began to observe the distribution of human-made light sources at different times, thinking about the changes and impacts they bring.

 

我將人造光源變成夜晚星空。使用衛星拍攝地球的夜晚空照圖作為構圖依據,並參考哈勃望遠鏡望向宇宙的圖像,最終生成超過數百張與人類所製造光源相同構圖的星空圖。

 

透過將夜晚的人造光與星光的錯置,我開始觀察不同時期人類製造光源的分佈,思考其所帶來的變化影響。
