Screen Walk With Sheung Yiu
About this film
Since 2019, Sheung Yiu has been working with Finnish remote sensing researchers — following them on field trips to forest plots, and interviewing them about their 'forest reflectance model' and the datasets they use to construct it. Researchers use this model to look into how light enters the forest and reflects back to satellites, to retrieve information about the landscape beyond what is visible on the image. In this Screen Walk, the artist took the audience on a desktop tour through folders of scientists' datasets. Interweaving archives, photographic artworks, and exhibition documentation, the talk explored how to see the invisible, while reflecting on a computer-aided vision that is becoming ever more abstract. Screen Walks is a new series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
