In the article, ‘Representation and the necessity of Interpretation’, Laura talks about the images of Earth collected from various satellites, the technology involved in it. Laura refers Charles and Ray Eames’s film – ‘Powers of Ten.’ With the constant time unit, unchanging center point and a steady photographic move, the film aims to show the effect of adding another zero to any number. Laura also refers to ‘Google Earth’, the application with easy interface that allows almost anyone to look at almost anything on earth. However, it is important to note that the date or images we see are not the actual taken photographs from any satellite. Any image taken from the satellite goes under various filters like military, political and economic stakes. The image came out of all the filters in left with a minimal data and then it is made available to the public use. Laura frames the public availability of these maps or satellite images as ‘growing global transparency.’ Also in the reading I observed that the interpretation of the data gathered from ‘satellite’ images is not necessarily the correct as we do not get the full and exact information from them. As Laura states, No satellite image presents a simple, unambiguous picture of the Earth, and a visit to the site itself can often raise more questions than it answers, reaffirming rather than reducing the openness of the image to interpretation. Also in some of the cases the maps or images challenge us to think whether they are the piece of art or architecture.

The other article regarding cloud mega-structure in also closely related with the concepts explained in this article. The electronic network has become a part of our daily lives. The information that is generated from every individual creates the packages of information that float around us and creates cloud mega-structure. Then these packages or small clouds connects on global scale forms a pattern and make the information available for easy access from anywhere.
