the World 28th August ~ 29th November 2020 How to Show Time in Monochrome? 30th September- 3rd October 2020 ‘Scenes of the World’ is a spatial installation by&nbsp;Johann Arens considering the civic potential of public transport and its social significance for the diverse communities of Marseille. The sculptural intervention takes place at Coco Velten, a cultural institution on the premises of the former municipal headquarters of Direction des Routes rue Bernard du Bois. The exhibition borrows its title from ‘Hale’s Tours and Scenes of the World’, an attraction designed in the early twentieth century that simulated a railway journey. These customised cinema spaces mimicked train carriages to the finest detail, and were often even mechanised to rock the ‘passengers’, simulating the motion of a steam train. With elaborate equipment of levers, pulleys, wheels and sound devices, visitors, often still unacquainted with the moving image, were overwhelmed by these instantaneous travels taking them through Swiss landscapes, Norwegian fjords and the Rocky Mountains. In contrast, Arens' sculptural intervention directs attention to the everyday scenarios that play out inside busses and trains merging this with the tableau of the public domain that is Coco Velten. The events programme curated by Diaspore, is inviting artists and community groups from Marseille and beyond to work collaboratively and build collective narratives. Using storytelling the programme questions how ideas of territorial intimacy, identity, migration and cohabitation can become progressive infrastructures to rethink the way we live together. <img width="3000" height="2200" width_o="3000" height_o="2200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f8a185452c50ab0c3dc306cd2665d6b8ba7ce4f3420947fcf7ba72d65e84823c/DSC09624c-copy.jpg" data-mid="86427103" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f8a185452c50ab0c3dc306cd2665d6b8ba7ce4f3420947fcf7ba72d65e84823c/DSC09624c-copy.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c49d9ad98ef4bfb86ad9fb84fb9d9a2b28e0919435f749ecc6343836e9db7547/DSC00168b-copy.jpg" data-mid="86427102" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c49d9ad98ef4bfb86ad9fb84fb9d9a2b28e0919435f749ecc6343836e9db7547/DSC00168b-copy.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="4500" width_o="3000" height_o="4500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9bc61595f4ace9e128d2dc894587ef5926ef82c18358a58312198cd31b6fa72d/DSC00104bcopy.jpg" data-mid="86427101" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9bc61595f4ace9e128d2dc894587ef5926ef82c18358a58312198cd31b6fa72d/DSC00104bcopy.jpg" /> EVENTSWednesday 30th September ~19/23h~ 19-20h&nbsp; Talk Johann Arens, Lou-Atessa Marcellin (Diaspore) Raphaël Haziot (Coco Velten) Johann Arens, Lou-Atessa Marcellin (Diaspore) Raphaël Haziot (Coco Velten) will give a presentation of the project and its public programme.

Rather than constructing a reductive overview, they tried to dig into what is and what could be, and propose a set of fragments to gather and discuss. ︎︎︎View book here Project supported by <img width="4961" height="3508" width_o="4961" height_o="3508" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d8d73977cc62535cb98480f4b414772d3c8be078c3309bd39d0b0394830f6433/AM_logo_01.jpeg" data-mid="83112222" border="0" data-scale="26" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d8d73977cc62535cb98480f4b414772d3c8be078c3309bd39d0b0394830f6433/AM_logo_01.jpeg" />.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="3521" height="2679" width_o="3521" height_o="2679" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fce1ef05615b60d1ec25cc9ff073327c5c1bbf173e0484845b476875b480316f/MIN_Culture_N.jpg" data-mid="83112365" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fce1ef05615b60d1ec25cc9ff073327c5c1bbf173e0484845b476875b480316f/MIN_Culture_N.jpg" />~20-22h Repas Libre-&nbsp; Andrea Moreno &amp; Soumiya Sassy For “Repas Libre’’, ceramicist and chef Andrea Moreno originally from Venezuela will be working with Soumiya Sassy, chef and passionate poet from Algeria.

The performance takes the book and uses it’s contents as a source of details and scenarios to be explored in the context of the gallery, an act of world building. On this occasion the focus lies on a florists’ journey from outer suburb to inner city to arrange bouquets for a bank headquarters, a journey that incorporates varied different realities and shifts in language and wealth. Through a series of translations, both visual and linguistic this relationship between aesthetics, culture and power will be explored as a live event, a retelling and simultaneous expansion of the original story. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9159c1466498406eb3db33d6a7f4741267cc753b87176b427450dba985cdc38d/DSCF2353-copy.jpg" data-mid="85500234" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9159c1466498406eb3db33d6a7f4741267cc753b87176b427450dba985cdc38d/DSCF2353-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2a10e0f001084af2ff4886a9c332979b3fde78bb24f1e4345729d0cd5a15e46/DSCF2354-copy.jpg" data-mid="85500235" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2a10e0f001084af2ff4886a9c332979b3fde78bb24f1e4345729d0cd5a15e46/DSCF2354-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/232a779dbffff7c6057a38b455a5759c5e62b0988b6707a46fc7e49663dc8a6a/DSCF2341-copy.jpg" data-mid="85500233" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/232a779dbffff7c6057a38b455a5759c5e62b0988b6707a46fc7e49663dc8a6a/DSCF2341-copy.jpg" /> credits: Fabrizio Scarpignato ~19h50-20h10Marleen Boschen, Charles Pryor, Sara Rodrigues &amp; Lou-Atessa The Great Conversation (still, as someone passes by)&nbsp; A live performance by Marleen Boschen, Charles Pryor, Sara Rodrigues and Lou-Atessa, follows the soil as a narrator and witness to the unfolding histories of human cultivation practices and environmental acts of violences. It seeks to make audible the soil as a living global infrastructure, a container for past and present cultivation knowledges and extraction processes and how these stories can be told through something we often unknowingly depend on for the survival of humans and non-human ecologies alike. This project is born out of a larger research-led film project titled A Womb of Things to be and a Tomb of Things that were by artists Charles Pryor and Marleen Boschen which combines elements of historical and scientific research with speculative fiction about seeds and conservation during times of ecological breakdown. <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50a70cc7729954b0a3c2cb4be43f7453e0b9c403d4eaf98474013c57e8ef518f/DSCF2378-copy.jpg" data-mid="85499178" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/50a70cc7729954b0a3c2cb4be43f7453e0b9c403d4eaf98474013c57e8ef518f/DSCF2378-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4d3fa528b4671484c79d2a3e84b5b3a30679ab53afd28987bff92cf0dcedb96/DSCF2431-copy.jpg" data-mid="85499181" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4d3fa528b4671484c79d2a3e84b5b3a30679ab53afd28987bff92cf0dcedb96/DSCF2431-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bfeaa904f5dd3574ba7d9007650951a08b0b164f1c28b074687f10dff8662f0d/DSCF2421-copy.jpg" data-mid="85499180" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bfeaa904f5dd3574ba7d9007650951a08b0b164f1c28b074687f10dff8662f0d/DSCF2421-copy.jpg" /> credits: Fabrizio Scarpignato ~20h20-20h40 Lea Collet &amp; Swan L'haoua Friendship Never Ends&nbsp; Swan and I have known each other for more than 15 years. He is an actor and I guess I am an artist. In here, together, we start to imagine an environment that fluctuates between fauna translation, online emotion and collective connection. The attention shifts between intimations of the future and personal story towards a digital ritual. This ritual triggers to access a space that sits outside of reality, to manipulate our senses and overdose on our own emotions. In order to create a more mutual; and sustainable relationship with nature, we collaborate with flowers, our phones hold kindness, respect and affection for one another and for the earth.

Cette installation sculpturale prend place à Coco Velten, une institution culturelle basée dans les locaux municipaux des anciens bureaux de la Direction des Routes rue Bernard du Bois. L’exposition emprunte son titre aux ‘Hale’s Tours and Scenes of the World’, une attraction du début du 20ème siècle conçue pour simuler un voyage en train. Ces cinémas faits sur mesure, imitaient jusqu’au moindre détail l'intérieur des wagons et étaient souvent même mécanisés pour bercer ‘les voyageurs’, simulant le mouvement du train à vapeur. À l’aide d’effets audiovisuels élaborés tels que des systèmes de mise à niveau, poulies et roues, les visiteurs, souvent peu familiers avec l’image en mouvement, étaient bouleversés par ces voyages instantanés qui les transportaient à travers les paysages suisse, des fjords norvégiens et des montagnes rocheuses. En contraste, l'intervention in situ d’Arens porte notre attention sur les scénarios mondains qui prennent place dans les bus et trains pour les confondre à ce tableau du domaine publique qu’est Coco Velten. Accompagnant cette proposition, Diaspore invite des artistes et communautés marseillaises et d’ailleurs à travailler ensemble afin d’élaborer de nouvelles narrations communes. Employant le storytelling, le programme questionne notamment comment les notions d’intimité territoriale, d’identité, de migration et de cohabitation peuvent devenir des infrastructures contribuant à repenser positivement le vivre ensemble. <img width="3000" height="2200" width_o="3000" height_o="2200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f8a185452c50ab0c3dc306cd2665d6b8ba7ce4f3420947fcf7ba72d65e84823c/DSC09624c-copy.jpg" data-mid="86427237" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f8a185452c50ab0c3dc306cd2665d6b8ba7ce4f3420947fcf7ba72d65e84823c/DSC09624c-copy.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c49d9ad98ef4bfb86ad9fb84fb9d9a2b28e0919435f749ecc6343836e9db7547/DSC00168b-copy.jpg" data-mid="86427241" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c49d9ad98ef4bfb86ad9fb84fb9d9a2b28e0919435f749ecc6343836e9db7547/DSC00168b-copy.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="4500" width_o="3000" height_o="4500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9bc61595f4ace9e128d2dc894587ef5926ef82c18358a58312198cd31b6fa72d/DSC00104bcopy.jpg" data-mid="86427242" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9bc61595f4ace9e128d2dc894587ef5926ef82c18358a58312198cd31b6fa72d/DSC00104bcopy.jpg" /> EVENEMENTS Mercredi 30 Septembre- 19-21h- La Cantine19/20h~ Présentation du projet Johann Arens, Lou-Atessa Marcellin (Diaspore) Raphaël Haziot (Coco Velten)-discuteront du projet et de sa programmation.

Andrea présentera également une nouvelle pièce en céramique faisant référence aux nombreux scooters ou ‘cross’ présent à Marseille. Pendant l'été, Andrea a travaillé avec un groupe d'enfant dans la cité de La Castellane qui ont contribué à la conception et réalisation de l'oeuvre.

La performance utilise les scénarios dépeints dans le livre pour y puiser les détails lui servant à élaborer et à donner corps à une nouvelle réalité dans l'espace d'exposition. A cette occasion, l’intrigue se porte sur un fleuriste et le trajet qu’il effectue depuis la banlieue vers le centre ville pour se rendre dans les bureaux d’une banque afin d’y arranger des bouquets. Commence alors, un trajet fait de réalités superposées se manifestant au travers des richesses du langage. Par une série de traductions à la fois visuels et linguistiques, cette relation entre les esthétiques, les cultures et le pouvoir sera explorer en live pour à la fois raconter et enrichir l’histoire de départ. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9159c1466498406eb3db33d6a7f4741267cc753b87176b427450dba985cdc38d/DSCF2353-copy.jpg" data-mid="85501382" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9159c1466498406eb3db33d6a7f4741267cc753b87176b427450dba985cdc38d/DSCF2353-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/232a779dbffff7c6057a38b455a5759c5e62b0988b6707a46fc7e49663dc8a6a/DSCF2341-copy.jpg" data-mid="85501404" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/232a779dbffff7c6057a38b455a5759c5e62b0988b6707a46fc7e49663dc8a6a/DSCF2341-copy.jpg" /> credits: Fabrizio Scarpignato ~ 19h50-20h10 Marleen Boschen, Charles Pryor, Sara Rodrigues, Lou Atessa The Great Conversation (still, as someone passes by) est le premier épisode d’une série de podcasts intitulé Alluvium Rocks et une performance de Marleen Boschen, Charles Pryor, Sara Rodrigues and Lou Atessa. Tout le long de l'épisode, nous suivons la terre comme narratrice et témoin de l’histoire des hommes au travers des pratiques agricoles et des actes de violence portés à l'environnement. Nous souhaitons donner voix à la terre comme infrastructure globale du vivant, un récipient des savoirs passés et présents du cultiver et rendre audible les procédés d’extraction pour raconter les histoires d’un organisme dont l’homme et le reste du vivant dépendent pour leur survie. Cet épisode est né d’un corpus de recherche sous la forme du film ‘A Womb of Things to be and a Tomb of Things that were’ des artistes Charles Pryor et Marleen Boschen qui combine éléments historiques et scientifiques à de la recherche spéculative et de la fiction autour de la préservation des graines lors d’un temps d'effondrement écologique. <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4d3fa528b4671484c79d2a3e84b5b3a30679ab53afd28987bff92cf0dcedb96/DSCF2431-copy.jpg" data-mid="85501543" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4d3fa528b4671484c79d2a3e84b5b3a30679ab53afd28987bff92cf0dcedb96/DSCF2431-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50a70cc7729954b0a3c2cb4be43f7453e0b9c403d4eaf98474013c57e8ef518f/DSCF2378-copy.jpg" data-mid="85501538" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/50a70cc7729954b0a3c2cb4be43f7453e0b9c403d4eaf98474013c57e8ef518f/DSCF2378-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bfeaa904f5dd3574ba7d9007650951a08b0b164f1c28b074687f10dff8662f0d/DSCF2421-copy.jpg" data-mid="85501545" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bfeaa904f5dd3574ba7d9007650951a08b0b164f1c28b074687f10dff8662f0d/DSCF2421-copy.jpg" /> credits: Fabrizio Scarpignato ~ 20h20-20h40 Lea Collet &amp; Swan&nbsp;L'haoua&nbsp;L'amitié ne s'éteint jamaisJe connais Swan depuis plus de 15 ans. Il est acteur et je suis artiste, enfin je pense. Ici, ensemble, nous imaginons un environnement qui oscille entre la traduction de la faune, les émotions en ligne et la déconnexion collective. L’attention navigue entre les intimations du futur et les histoires personnelles vers un rituel numérique. Ce rituel se déclenche pour accéder à un espace extérieur à la réalité, pour manipuler nos sens et surdoser nos émotions. Afin de créer des relations mutuelles et durables avec la nature, nous collaborons avec les fleurs. Nos téléphones détiennent la gentillesse, le respect et l’affection les uns pour les autres et pour la terre.

Artists are invited to tell stories of the night, romance, remembering, togetherness and separation. This mood creates a space to reflect upon relationships - to the self, between two, a group, an entire ecosystem - in a moment where bodies can be at ease, vulnerable or vibrate together. Guest artists include Lou Atessa, Natasha Cox, Jamie Green, RHO (Sara Rodrigues and Rodrigo B. Camacho), Theo Turpin and Markus Vater.~~IRRUPTIVE CHORA has been invited to return to Chalton Gallery between 13 January and 1 February 2020. We are writing to you as we want to experiment together with the idea of an evolving exhibition project developing over 3 weeks as a a collective body, mesh of affects and intensities, material environment, collection of acts and traces. An interdisciplinary practice-based research to actively explore the notion of RECOVERY. Revisiting the space where our collaboration has taken its shape, as a collective search for and an approximation of the ‘irruptive chora’; a dynamic and autonomous space where ideas have a potential and energy to generate and transmit themselves, we want to rethink our situatedness; restoring relationships, learning to habituate the space between the self and the other, reevaluating the relations between material form and content. We wish to initiate a state of dwelling within the gallery space, gathering ideas, forms and moments of collectivity to initiate a conversation about what could be called the ‘internal workings’ of a material form, be it animate or inanimate, crucial in the process of recovery. We are interested in how temporalities of recovery collapse the past and the future into the present point in our physical reality. We want to better understand how changing positions and perspectives, while in the process of recovery, confuses the coming back to the previous state with the constant transformation of always becoming more.&nbsp;Experiencing recovery as an internal change, we are interested in how the repeated reordering of the external forces necessitates recovery, to feel at home in the external environment, affirmative of the tensions of the in-between. Making, thinking and experiencing together we want to reimagine our positioning and the positioning of our work within the wider web of interdependent actions, thoughts and processes, through multiplicity of forms including a physical display, screenings, collective writing, reading, listening, composing and healing. https://diaspore.org/Mezze-Pizza Sun, 05 Jan 2020 11:34:25 +0000 diaspore https://diaspore.org/Mezze-Pizza Beholden, forbearance--- Lou-Atessa Marcellin and Susannah Haslam call on friends to collage their continuing conversation on what it means, and how, to work together.

In a variety of formats, artists taking part will present their research, stories and speculative scenarios in an attempt to (re)connect with millennium and future symbiosis. Sympoiesis was born out of an interest to explore the idea of ‘making with’- to collectively-produce systems that do not have self-defined spatial or temporal boundaries.PROGRAMME:2pm- Origin Myths- Markus Vater People have always had a desire to understand where they are coming from . Origin Myths are at the beginning of narrated history and interwoven with our understanding of who we are. They offer a glimpse at the human self image and of the stories we believe in.

With a particular focus discussing the state of alternative art spaces, natural resources, education and outer space migration, we hope to establish a comprehensible set of understandings and goals to nurture our common resources. Each group is lead by a researcher in order to spark conversation and &nbsp;prompt ideas inviting participants to share their experiences and thoughts. The project is hosted at Jupiter Woods for its entire duration culminated in the recording of a live event in December 2019. <img width="1334" height="750" width_o="1334" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a6d11aa0da71ea4c8579833b73ad39115b2412e03bebafce6a0c780de4c5609b/vvfaforestrqngers.png" data-mid="50527405" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a6d11aa0da71ea4c8579833b73ad39115b2412e03bebafce6a0c780de4c5609b/vvfaforestrqngers.png" />A Familiar Unknown 24th September, 12th November, 17th December - 6.30- 8pm 17th December- 7-9pm LIVE BROADCAST In this final Forest Rangers event, we invite the public to participate in a live broadcast from Jupiter Woods where we will&nbsp;perform stories written in previous sessions that consider&nbsp;possible collective futures for outer space dwelling. Designed by Andrew Friend and Sitraka Rakotoniaina from V.V.F.A, participants will be invited to plug&nbsp;into a ‘nine-person instrument’ each playing one of nine synthesizers to generate a soundscape for alternative space migration. Join us to make Dystopias Utopias! Listen to the recording here. 12th November - 6.30- 8pmCan we think of progressive narratives for the Outer Space? In this second session, we will attempt to write collective narratives that challenge the Statu Quo, structuring our thoughts around ideas of Final Frontiers, Time Frames, The Arrogance of Progress and Escapism. The narratives will become a scenario for a podcast, performed and broadcast live at Jupiter Wood in December 2019.24th September - 6.30- 8pmReading material available here:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yHyWb2-OxevDG_eyKMB0nnIKNxND8h_P?usp=sharing *** Space exploration is a perspective-altering endeavour that has (literally and figuratively) shaped worldviews and cultures. The space race of the mid 20th century has paved the way for a better understanding of Earth as a living system and provided a new framework to explore the narrative construct of humanity’s future; the “greater good” and subsequent “better tomorrow” have become common places. Yet, today’s coming of age of the “new space” serving as fuel for the collective imagination could primarily push the corporate values leading to the private ownership of a substantial share of humanity’s future. From exploration to exploitation and migration to colonisation, space narratives and the futures that they depict have often championed the views of a few, rather than fostering the expected global identity. From O’neill’s vision of outer space suburbia to Musk’s starman, future narratives and visions seem increasingly less diverse. These reading sessions aim to examine the existing treaties and rules shaping the collective imagination in order to propose more “democratic” alternatives, and culminate in the performance of a proposed utopia. V.V.F.A Very Very Far Away (VVFA) is a platform dedicated to democratising future narratives. Founded in 2015 VVFA explores multiple perspectives bringing members of the pubic and experts together to craft and disseminate new cultural fictions. Through co-enquiries, podcast and a series of special projects VVFA engages and empowers audiences both in the creation and the communication their futures.From installation and sculpture to sound art through to technical devices and performance VVFA projects cross multiple media aiming to embody and capture elements of the worlds formed during the co-enquiry. Projects are developed alongside co-enquiry and podcast, the three forms creatively informing one another.VVFA explores new modes of creative collaboration between artists, technologists, scientists and partner institutions worldwide. <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d4c2491802906adae518a9bc0599c614808da403e05ea5bb1ae038dea4aa5468/SH-FR-image.jpg" data-mid="38705168" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d4c2491802906adae518a9bc0599c614808da403e05ea5bb1ae038dea4aa5468/SH-FR-image.jpg" /> Alternatives to the alternative, or, the undercommons of art(s) education 10th April, 7th May 2019- 6.30-8pmAlternatives to the alternative, or, the undercommons of art(s) education aims to read on and discuss the current state of art(s) education in the UK as (if) it might (ever) be understood as a common resource.

Slight, diamond-shaped leaves, two millimetres across, cluster the water surfaces, by putting out numerous thin roots below individual plants, connecting up to form vast mats. During an Azolla bloom in the early Eocene some 56-34 million years ago, blankets of tiny Azolla absorbed the carbon dioxide needed for growth directly from the atmosphere, reducing greenhouse gases and ending a hot climate that had prevailed for hundreds of millions of years. Levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide were reduced by up to a half by organic carbon burial, as the Azolla mats that once populated a warm and balmy Arctic region repeatedly died back and sank to the bottom of the ocean. The atmospheric carbon dioxide sequestered by Azolla was incorporated into the plant biomass, preserved in sediments beneath the Arctic. Under high pressure the petrified plant matter, plankton and carbon were transmuted into Arctic oil and natural gas, sealed within geologic traps. <img width="1500" height="2002" width_o="1500" height_o="2002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/526e84b954b137b3e51e75aa2b5f1922f0feb3f5725503631ba7fb0e51aecba8/_1web.jpg" data-mid="30237265" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/526e84b954b137b3e51e75aa2b5f1922f0feb3f5725503631ba7fb0e51aecba8/_1web.jpg" /> Satellite Earth observation and space based instruments create the potential for predictive vision on a global scale. These identify atmospheric chemicals, tracking shifting topographies, crude spills, algal blooms, pathogens and border surveillance. Two satellite programmes capture imagery and data sets for the purpose of low orbit observation: the Landsat and Copernicus satellite fleets. Using an array of monitoring devices, multiple images captured at different times are stitched together to give a view of the Earth in meticulous detail. The satellites follow a constant trajectory, tracing sun-synchronous orbits and cloud prediction to prevent shadows cast across the terrain, in order to provide an uninterrupted stream of information for forecasting. The European-directed Copernicus fleet consists of five satellites collectively referred to as Sentinels. A vocabulary of passivity and neutral knowledge production is applied to these satellite missions. Clean, absolute and all seeing, these space-based bodies are tools in the ultimate aspiration of conquering time and distance. Landsat 7 passes over the equator each day at 10am local time. Taking ninety-nine minutes to complete a single orbit, the satellite makes over fourteen orbits a day; a quarter of the Earth’s surface is scanned and archived in just sixteen days. Such regularity means it is be possible to calculate when one of these satellites is passing overhead, moving at speeds and distances well beyond human scale. The combined monitoring technology of the Sentinels and Landsat 7 is considered to have the same level of accuracy as ground level observation. They offer up an expansive - though imprecise and fragmented - map of the Earth. This digital view generates a two-dimensional compression of reality. Devoid of a horizon, it offers only an illusion of perspective, skewed by data that is knitted together to reveal evidence of the past and to provide data for strategic projections of political, economic, social and environmental futures. In 2003, a hardware component failure left wedge-shaped tranches of missing data on either side of Landsat 7’s images. The perfect, or total image is not present in the abstracted and fragmented visualisations generated. Portions of terrain are misaligned, obscured by blind spots or cloud cover. Instead of the desired, pure image produced in real time - a claim to total vision and predictive potential - the satellite lens operates more like a scrying mirror. An attempt to see more clearly or completely is affected by the material nature of the technology – a surface, which reflects back in the present, making visible misalignments and fissures. <img width="1500" height="848" width_o="1500" height_o="848" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62596e41d872f543699f2e43bcb7c1f1b03652e1d98c2bc4c6e5169b3a937073/2web.jpg" data-mid="30237356" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62596e41d872f543699f2e43bcb7c1f1b03652e1d98c2bc4c6e5169b3a937073/2web.jpg" /> The Svalbard Satellite Station sits in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean. Operated by Kongsberg Satellite Services, it is the world’s largest commercial satellite ground station. Research facilities from many nations are collocated on Svalbard as a strategic point for Earth monitoring. Low altitude satellites collect information as they orbit the Earth. The captured data is downloaded directly to a ground station once it is within the line of sight. For most of the 19th century, Norwegian hunters and itinerant whalers dominated economic exploitation on Svalbard. The coal mining industry on Svalbard developed during the early 20th century, but according to archaeologists the use of the coal seams can be traced further back. Russian and European scientists and prospectors turned their eyes to the archipelago, with natural resources representing both a source of knowledge and a potential economic asset. <img width="1500" height="1367" width_o="1500" height_o="1367" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66c8140378159c85981575957a0dfbb0776fb07e9a1e8a6b338e51c195877e46/3web.jpg" data-mid="30237357" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66c8140378159c85981575957a0dfbb0776fb07e9a1e8a6b338e51c195877e46/3web.jpg" /> According to estimates made by the US Geological Survey, about thirteen percent of undiscovered oil, thirty percent of undiscovered natural gas, and twenty percent of undiscovered natural gas liquids remain beneath the Arctic ice. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a country can legally extend its rights over oil and gas deposits to the edge of its continental shelf, even if this stretches beyond the 200-mile exclusive economic zone. For states that border this region, it is necessary to develop infrastructure in order to exploit this concealed resource. Russia has made this one of its highest national priorities and has consequently built up the world’s largest fleet of icebreakers and invested more in Arctic infrastructure than any other country. Russia is also building deep-water ports and rail terminals to service the Northern Sea Route, while the USA and Canada have made proposals for similar kinds of infrastructure for the Northwest Passage. <img width="1500" height="1028" width_o="1500" height_o="1028" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/062435e5391ae6c909aa0e75f0dd30c6ecfdff8128dd83b0f6c1e6b93ab2be32/4web.jpg" data-mid="30237358" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/062435e5391ae6c909aa0e75f0dd30c6ecfdff8128dd83b0f6c1e6b93ab2be32/4web.jpg" /> Due to the terrain and the extreme conditions of the Arctic region, in the past drilling setbacks and uncertain regulations on environmental policy have led to the withdrawal of three major oil companies from Alaska: ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch Shell, and Statoil. Predictive vision afforded by satellite monitoring can highlight changes in sea ice cover to aid increased mobility and navigation in previously ice locked passages and increasingly provide an overview of sub-sea terrains. Sonar and bathymetric mapping are used to monitor oil and natural gas extraction infrastructures on the seabed, reducing the material and financial risk of large-scale oceanic platforms. <img width="1500" height="844" width_o="1500" height_o="844" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f98592f91d5c1642fea9ccc5c2575b037b14039ebab52c654c1a0b87af6a411/5-web.jpg" data-mid="30237359" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f98592f91d5c1642fea9ccc5c2575b037b14039ebab52c654c1a0b87af6a411/5-web.jpg" /> Prospectors speculate on the location of mineral seams and oil deposits. Hydrocarbons migrate upwards from their source, passing through porous subterranean strata, before accumulating when a layer of impermeable rock blocks their route. Geologists use seismic data to detect bright spots - sonar reflections with anomalously high amplitudes, which suggest the presence of hydrocarbons beneath a lithic trap. <img width="1500" height="956" width_o="1500" height_o="956" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bdf1b73af65771c6760aef16fe00ae66f63bd19d78bda486e0cf86b957ea1e16/6web.jpg" data-mid="30237360" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bdf1b73af65771c6760aef16fe00ae66f63bd19d78bda486e0cf86b957ea1e16/6web.jpg" /> The Siberian tundra is an open, sub-Arctic landscape with little tree growth that is home to the largest peat bogs on the planet. The ground is spongy, and chiefly composed of moss and decomposing vegetation, or histosol. Peat bogs are the initial stage in the lengthy process of plant material forming as coal; ancient bog plants can be found as fossils in peat. The peat bogs and thermokast lakes of the Siberian peninsular are polygonal bogs, shaped with ridges. Thermokast lakes are defined as lakes that generally occupy closed basins formed by the settlement of ground, following the thawing of ice-rich permafrost. In various parts of Siberia, the active layer above the permafrost can thaw to a depth of fifty centimetres every summer. In 2016 however, there was a heat wave in the region and temperatures remained around thirty-five degrees Celsius, twenty-five degrees warmer than that of an average summer. According to scientific studies, in 2005 the frozen bogs in Siberia began to thaw for the first time in 11,000 years and as a result the number of lakes has increased but the average surface area of lakes has decreased as water evaporates or escapes where the underlying permafrost has melted. The indexical nature of permafrost soil is skewed by freeze-thaw cycles. Frost churning causes materials to mix from various soil strata’s. The result is a marbling of matter from significantly different time periods. <img width="1500" height="844" width_o="1500" height_o="844" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ff78c1916391555561db2b8ad6b65dd0a35f9a176b4255d48d919d68aa8f10e/7web.jpg" data-mid="30237362" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ff78c1916391555561db2b8ad6b65dd0a35f9a176b4255d48d919d68aa8f10e/7web.jpg" /> While many strains of bacteria including anthrax occur naturally in soil, extensive thawing of permafrost increases the risk of exposure to spore-producing bacteria like Bacillus Anthracis , &nbsp;which can survive dormant in freezing temperatures for up to a century. In 2016, more than 2,300 reindeer died in the anthrax outbreak in the Yamalo-Nenets region of Siberia; Nenets herders were affected most significantly. However, increased resource extraction, land evictions and diminishing grazing pastures represent an ongoing and increasing threat. The Yamal Megaproject (a long term project designed to exploit the peninsula’s gas, developed by the Russian corporation Gazprom) was initiated in the 1990s. In May 2012, the first of its gas supplies came from the Bovanenkovo Field. Every year, billions of cubic metres of gas are piped to Western Europe. As the sea ice around the peninsula melts and the ocean opens to maritime traffic, Arctic sea routes act as potential gateways for trade and exploitation of gas reserves. Earth vision technology from satellites can serve to detect and document topographical and geologic changes on a global scale. However simultaneously accounts of diminishing mosquito populations, localised bacterial outbreaks and flora variation suggest an intimate knowledge on the basis of daily-lived experiences at ground level.&nbsp; <img width="1500" height="844" width_o="1500" height_o="844" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/79401aadf5e7ddd9c292bceeb0fe483e395710a4c41d3b322b2a42f24586a628/8web.jpg" data-mid="30237361" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/79401aadf5e7ddd9c292bceeb0fe483e395710a4c41d3b322b2a42f24586a628/8web.jpg" /> Vision may be impeded and skewed under climatic and social conditions. The eyes of reindeer change colour, from gold in summer months to blue in long months of Arctic winter darkness. It is thought that in prolonged darkness, the pressure inside the animal's eye builds as a result of the effort required to keep the pupils dilated for months on end. The pressure causes the collagen fibres of the iridescent tapetum lucidum to contract, reflecting blue wavelengths of light instead of yellow. The blue eyes become over a thousand times more sensitive to light to cope with significantly reduced visibility. <img width="1500" height="844" width_o="1500" height_o="844" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2414894271815d51c7cc6f4c51e0af2d99942e89751fc9e097c9574a458848b3/9web.jpg" data-mid="30237363" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2414894271815d51c7cc6f4c51e0af2d99942e89751fc9e097c9574a458848b3/9web.jpg" /> As azolla plants grow, colonising the majority of the surface of a pool or lake, they reduce the oxygen levels beneath the water to the detriment and eventual mass mortality of other aquatic organisms. The miniscule fern grows much faster than other flora that is found in waterlogged ground or peaty bogs, and can be used as livestock feed. The symbiotic relationship between the Azolla and nitrate-producing bacteria makes it a suitable fertilizer for agricultural production. Azolla, like other semi-aquatic wetland plant species can sequester enormous amounts of carbon over many years, absorbing it into their own biomass. The protection of undeveloped peat land and the reintroduction of wetlands across Europe is an attempt to offset the deferred effects of carbon released during the last five hundred years. The last significant Earth cooling thought to be caused by plant blooms, occurred over a fifty thousand years period. <img width="1500" height="1065" width_o="1500" height_o="1065" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc98c7847468f9fb09f12ee356bdb7988a83227f90d23f8dabc22b86dd34f1a1/10web.jpg" data-mid="30237364" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fc98c7847468f9fb09f12ee356bdb7988a83227f90d23f8dabc22b86dd34f1a1/10web.jpg" /> 1)&nbsp; Image : Google Earth which utilises both Landsat 7 and Sentinel-2 data 2)&nbsp; Image : Proba-1 images Svalbard ground station, Released 21/04/2016 10:29 am, ESA 3)&nbsp; image : Klein Marine Systems inc. side scan sonar image of subsea pipelines 4)&nbsp; Environment and Society journal 'The Northwest Passage: Myth, Environment, and Resources’ 5)&nbsp; Image : Aker Solutions: Subsea Factory Floor monitoring technology 6) In their 2011 paper published in Global Health Action, Boris A.
