Networks make up a majority of our  lives and a majority of the world by now. We are all a part of this complex interwoven series of networks that connect us to almost everything possible. Close Up at a  Distance by Laura Kurgan discusses how fundamental it is for us to start experiencing the space around us and to discover the new connections that are presented to us through this research of space and the world. We are given and thrown into a world where these advancing technologies have the abilities to map out the world, a big sphere that houses more than 7 billion people. Unfortunately, these kinds of world mappings made by satellite technologies and their information rarely ever gets shared, it is usually made for commercial, facility, or military uses. How can we utilize these sorts of data to our advantage and establish an attitude toward social issues that conveys power, influence and passion through images, diagrams, projects, concepts, etc.
