During the 1990s, I followed very closely the becoming-public, whether through commercialization or declassification, of what I have come to call the military technologies of location -- notably the Global Positioning System satellite network, digital cartography, and highresolution satellite imagery. I was interested in their politics and their aesthetics, and what these might have to do with each other. I wanted to develop a critical relation to these very-hightechnologies, not from outside them, but from within. Over a number of projects I have sought to work with the infrastructures and images of surveillance and war in order to explore what these digital networks are doing to our experience of time and space, and to exploit their contents in the interest of art and memory. This refunctioning tries to discover within the aesthetics of military technologies some unintended outcomes, in order, first of all, to expose their often invisible networks, then to reassign these important, even beautiful, images (and the techniques which create them) to their rightful place in a history of images, and third, to mark the memory of violence and disaster in the information they contain.
