This five minute film piece uses imagery from Google Earth’s immense database of satellite images of the Earth’s surface. The sound component to the film utilizes sounds from synthesizers, computer generated sine tones, various instruments, and sounds gathered using a contact microphone. Beginning calmly with images of natural desertscapes, the film moves through several more stages of sound and image (tundra, forest, mountain...), a slow crescendo of nature to the climax of the sprawling city: fast, flickering imagery with a collage of sound portrays the chaos, disorder, and complexities of civilization and technology. The video, among other things, is a comment on the power of the human race and current global issues concerning our environment.
