With their installation series REMOTEWORDS ongoing since 2007, Achim Mohné and Uta Kopp have developed an artistic procedure for a changed world that has become a display in its entirety since the introduction of online atlases fed by orbital satellites.

During the course of their project spanning more than a decade, they have predominantly used roof surfaces of international cultural institutions to place messages with simple means that became visible only after a short delay on Google Earth and other cartographic platforms. They have thus succeeded in making people aware of the perma­nently surveyed surface of the earth as something that is no longer subjected only to natural processes and the responsibility of states and private-sector corporations, but also to that of individuals. This publication documents the thirty-five unique actions of the REMOTEWORDS project and contextualizes them in a compre­­­­hen­sive way with highly diverse statements and essays from the perspective of cultural studies, art and media history, literature and media psychology


Orbital Irritations is published in the edition KHM, a cooperation project between the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and the Herbert von Halem Verlag.
