OTHER CINEMA presents TREVOR PAGLEN

Mr. Paglen presents work from his current project, a series of meditations on the night sky, the sublime, classical empiricism, and democracy, exploring these issues through narratives and photographic observations of 187 US reconnaissance satellites. ALSO: Jeanne Liotta's Observando El Cielo, a marvelous time-lapse tracing of stellar movement, with a soundtrack by Peggy Ahwesh; and Mike Welt's Miles Above, a 4-braided record of the tragic trajectory of the 2003 Columbia shuttle crash. PLUS: Semiconductor's Brilliant Noise (from x-ray photographs of the sun); clips from Peter Mettler's Picture of Light (on the Aurora Borealis), Peter Kuran's Rainbow Bombs; and ambient Astronomy educationals.
