- Summary:
- "Unseen Skies" follows artist Trevor Paglen's decade-long journey to launch an artwork into space. Yaara Bou Melhem, an award-winning filmmaker and journalist, captures Paglen's intercontinental trek to deploy a 30-meter mirrored balloon visible from Earth. Paglen's conceptual art exposes the hidden power-structures of technology and surveillance that shape our lives. The film unveils his unprecedented undertaking and explores the global impact of technology on privacy. "Unseen Skies" reveals a reality that remains largely unseen and undetected: our skies are more than the exclusive playground of the military-industrial complex. Or are they?
