today we celebrate the 2-year anniversary of
god.observer ๐ธ๐ญ (yayy!) with a little appreciation post for this misunderstood
heaven.computer collection.
while inspired by many sources, the original idea for
god.observer was born from my admiration for FITS Liberator, a NASA software, previously a photoshop plugin, used for processing astronomical data to produce images of space. experimenting with this plugin inspired me to get into astronomical data and image processing, and eventually pursue a career in astrophysics โ a pursuit that has been discontinued since realizing i err more on the side of arts of that specific intersection.
still, the idea of transforming raw data into visual art introduced by playing with this plugin back in the day is one i have carried throughout much of my art practice.
