The World Above Us (2019)

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

A natural day-night pattern runs across the screen like a pulsing frequency while a continuous swarm of airplanes, carrying half a million people, fly across the globe. No matter the time of day, the density remains the same in a choreographed 24/7 networked flow, flattening distinction between past, present and future. In order to document a 24-hour cycle of global commercial travel for The World Above Us, DiCarlo joined a community of DIY aviation tracking enthusiasts, learning to build her own localized ADS-B receiver. Using specialty software, she recorded hundreds of real-time flights and then compressed the footage into a time-lapsed loop to further accelerate the non-stop flow of global trade and travel.
