Remote Sensing: Explorations Into the Art of Detection
This CLUI program explored the art and science of remote sensing in literal and expressive ways, and was in two parts, based out of two locations: one in urban Los Angeles, and the other in the Mojave desert.
Remote sensing is an established science involving detection and observation from a distance, primarily using sensors based on aircraft and spacecraft. Part one of the program was about Southern California aerospace, where much of the process, technology, and hardware of remote sensing was developed, and where it is still vigorously pursued.
Remote sensing is also an art, involving creativity, subjectivity, and interpretation. Part two of the program explored remote sensing phenomenology in the field, through projects based out of the CLUI Desert Research Station.

This exhibit was made possible with support from Getty through its PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative, with additional support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Remote Sensing: Explorations Into the Art of Detection was among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explored the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART was presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide, please visit pst.art.
