Remote Sensing (a film by Ursula Biemann)

Sarah Reed pointed this out to me. I wasn't able to go to the movie (which was screened on campus Monday night), but intrigued, I found some more information on Ursula's work at her website. I am concerned with and would be interested in your opinions on her contention that GIS/RS are linked to the sexualization and displacement of women on a global scale. This extends our discussion in last week's group meeting. This is a very serious topic.

GIS & RS do far more good than harm. Even in their most violent use (war) they help to improve strike precision and reduce casualties. In the best case they provide us a dynamic technology to view and understand our world. If you took them away our problems would go unnoticed. Biemann's theories lack any academic merit.
