Homogenized Planet Imagery: A Process-Art Critique of Space Image in the Age of AI
SessionReframing Vision
DescriptionIn the paper we introduce Homogenized Image Planet, a multi-stage process artwork that examines how planetary images acquire authority today. We collect visuals from NASA archives, Wikipedia, search platforms, and generative AI; archive their metadata; and fuse them with equal weights after feature-based alignment. The resulting texture animates a Unity and WebGL installation and is preserved on a radiation-tolerant chip launched to low-Earth orbit, forming a physical–virtual digital twin. Framed by power/knowledge, computational objectivity, and simulacra, audience surveys and expert interviews indicate decreased trust in “official” imagery and increased critical awareness of algorithmic mediation.
