Satellite Art Works (S.A.W) mission is to create alert devices within early warning systems to aide population in danger from critical circumstances.

 

 

As artists we work with advanced technology concepts in continuous transfer with scientists and other specialists. The resulting works we call ‘Space-Art-Rescue’.

 

 

Affiliated with peaceful purpose and allied to humanitarian cause, the mission for this kind of Space Art is designed to operate within the developing satellite global alert system in the area of preparedness in disaster reduction, initially within the Southern Hemisphere.

 

 

These works appear from the earth as visions, images or sounds, acting as conveying warning messenger, an ‘external sign’, adapted to the specific hazard and part of other aspects of an early warning system.

 

 

Satellite Art Works (S.A.W) perceives that predictions concerning global climate change will inevitably mean new-coming disaster and a need for further specialist imaginative response: Living on our planet today clearly requires a lot more imagination than we are made to have. Imagination is a specialism to Art and other risk-thinking and it is in this connection that we enterprise our vision.

 

 

As one of many projects world-wide to address gaps and needs in respect to early warning systems and the issues of natural and man-made disasters, our Space Art pursues the following characteristics:

 

 

Multi-Capacity :      that ‘Space-Art-Rescue’ offers the possibility of adaptability and flexibility of response to the disaster hazard.

 

 

Non-Earth Bound : that ‘Space-Art-Rescue’ offers as far as possible an independent, autonomous and de-centralised system from ground level resource in the event of lack of already existing communication systems, existing system destruction or disruption caused by civil or military unrest.

 

 

Integrity :                that ‘Space-Art-Rescue’ offers the ability to conjure detail.

 

For example: to time of day, speed, cultural sensitivity, use of existing local resources, material and knowledge.

 

 

Co-ordinated :        that ‘Space-Art-Rescue’ be viewed as part of a collaborative response from the multi-media communications community to create future links in a global warning system (i.e global alert messaging system for mobile phones and in the world-wide web); this includes co-ordination within national systems of early warning. In addition, grass-roots communications and corresponding disaster management training programmes within an early warning system, as vitally significant.

 

 

Satellite Art Works (S.A.W) volunteers an ethical, practical, creative tool in responding to people at risk in on-going disasters, natural or human in origin.
