About ABOV

ABOV (Art Beyond Our Vision) features works of art crafted from remote sensing satellite data. These datasets are the result of Earth observation over the past three decades and when processed artistically introduce a rather contemporary and often abstract view of the Earth's surface. Often mistaken as oil paintings and sometimes confused as photography, the ABOV works of art offer a fresh abstract alternative to traditional natural color or color-infrared imagery of the earth. The name ABOV speaks to both the science of remote sensing used to process the raw data, and where the imagery was acquired from. This all comes from above, just without the "e".

ABOV is the first of its kind: A geospatial company with a gallery component combining high resolution satellite data and artwork. Larry Ammann's "The Art of Remote Sensing" and Stuart Black's "Signatures of Earth" and "Shooting the Past" collections provide the first comprehensive series of art to be shown in a gallery environment exclusively dedicated to this artform.

ABOV seeks out creative artists with the technical background to work with satellite imagery and the artistic skills to create original and unique artwork. ABOV is the collective home for this artform, its artists and those that appreciate this style of artwork.
