A stone, carved in the shape of a sleeping figure, lies undisturbed in a forest, as if in millennial slumber or weighted by an endless fatigue, moss grown thick in the hollows of its eye rings. Satellite images of the Earth trace the twilight line, capturing both night and day, dawn and dusk, over cities that remain permanently illuminated. These images reveal a world nearly always aglow, sustaining its unbroken rhythm.
What these images also shows us is the continuous permanence of satellite image capture until they meet a non-data zone.
