Celestial Mechanics (2005)
《天體力學》(2005)

Celestial Mechanics is a planetarium artwork of the machines we have placed in the sky. Instead of stars and planets, the ‘night sky’ program reveals many of the aerial technologies hovering, flying, and drifting above us. The project mixes science, statistical display, and contemporary art by interpreting the mechanical patterns and behaviors of these systems as culturally significant poetics. With data secured from government agencies like NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Weather Service and dozens of military and science organizations, accurate tracking and protocol statistics were used to create 3-D models of over 30,000 manmade objects in the sky. These models were then visualized in a style that reflects the chaos, force, and influence of these technologies and lead to a better understanding of the forces that are shaping our future.

《天體力學》是關於我們放置在天上的機器的天象館藝術作品。「夜空」節目中的天沒有任何星體，而是眾多表現航空科技的機器在我們頭上或盤旋、或掠過、或漂浮。作品融合科學、統計顯示及當代藝術，把其中的機械性模式及行為演譯成文化上的詩意。根據政府機構如美國太空總署、美國聯邦航空局、美國國家氣象局及多個軍事和科學組織的數據而得出的準確導向路線和統計，為超過三萬個天空人造物件製造出立體模型；由此再建立反映這些科技帶來的混亂、力量和影響的視覺效果，從而讓我們更瞭解這些構成我們將來的力量。
