Our Home -- Daily Overview
Our project was inspired, and derives its name, from an idea known as the Overview Effect. This term refers to the sensation
astronauts have when given the opportunity to look down and view the Earth as a whole. They have the chance to
appreciate our home in its entirety, to reflect on its beauty and its fragility all at once. That's the cognitive shift that we hope
to inspire.
The mesmerizing flatness seen from this vantage point, the surprising comfort of systematic organization on a massive scale,
or the vibrant colors that we capture will hopefully turn your head. However, once we have that attention, we hope you will
go beyond the aesthetics, contemplate just exactly what it is that you're seeing, and consider what that means for our planet.
--Daily Overview
"Man must rise above the Earth —to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world
in which he lives."--Plato
本傑明·格蘭特(Benjamin Grant)2013年創建「每日概覽」(Daily Overview)網站,想讓從未在太空旅行的人也對地球產生相同的感覺。
通過搜尋Google地圖,他挑選出了既和人類、自然相關,又引人注意的最形象化的衛星圖片,包括擁塞的大城市,極好的空曠荒野,巨大
的采礦作業場景等。他希望這些圖片既可以幫助觀賞者理解地球之美與脆弱,而能凸顯人類對地球造成的嚴重影響。
透過這種迷人的平面度,展現令人驚訝而舒服感的超高而廣大面積的照片,或美麗鮮豔的色彩,但主要的目的是觀賞者能超越美學,想想
你看到的是什麼,對於我們居住的星球所產生的意義又是什麼。
人要上升到地球以上,達到,甚至超越大氣層,只有這樣才能更好地理解他所生活的世界。
