Flat Earth circumvents the world through the eyes of bloggers.

Flat Earth weaves material found online, taking us on an extraordinary seven-minute journey around the world as seen through the eyes of bloggers.

Flat Earth is a described by the artists as a 'desktop documentary', which uses satellite imagery found online to take us on an extraordinary seven-minute journey around the world, where we encounter the voices of bloggers, interweaving and overlapping as if to form a single conversation.

Most material is garnered from NASA’s public domain satellite image archive and was stitched together in a combination of Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects. Exceptions are flickr images edited at offline stage in Final Cut Pro and some
close satellite images purchased from TerraServer Ltd.
