Flight studies

One flight a week, seen several ways: the ground it crossed, the sensor that witnessed it, the thing itself, and the record. The form follows the preparatory collages of Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

Flight study 1: Lincoln, game night

One flight, seen four ways: the ground, the witness, the thing itself, and the record.

Map of a drone's track looping south of a stadium — The ground. The flight's track south of the stadium, redrawn from the globe.

A full football stadium at night with a marching band on the field — The thing itself. Game night, from the stands.

A pickup truck tailgate holding a BRRDfeeder sensor rig, laptops and a portable power station — The witness. A BRRDfeeder on a tailgate, a few blocks north.

Sample drawing of a flight path lifted off the ground by its altitude — The record. Altitude along the track, with the moments each sensor heard it. Sample drawing until this flight's telemetry is exported.
