Samenvatting
The Ocean Earth Construction and Development Corporation (OECD),
founded in New York 1980 by Peter Fend and other artists, and
its associated projects such as NewsRoom, Beach Party and
Television Government, make use of the accessibility worldwide
of digital satellite data for observation of economic resources,
for ecological supervision, for urban renewal, and against
deliberate political and military disinformation. By means of
computer technology, photographs and satellite pictures are
analysed as evidence against the politically motivated abuse of
visual documents. Even if there is no longer just one truth to
be dealt with, at least fakes can be uncovered. The OECD
presents the public with satellite data primarily used for
military reconnaissance, in order to break the information
monopoly of the military. (Published Summary)
