“Through the Aleph” is a networked art project that offers an unprecedented visual and interactive experience, in which many places on Earth and in space can be seen simultaneously in an instant, visualizing the diversity of human civilizations ( microcosm) and the unity of Humanity without Borders in the ever-changing universe (macrocosm), which draws the connections between individuals and the global environment, Earth and outer space, eternity and time, and art and science. With an unexpected take on surveillance cameras and global networks, this media web uses live data to create an abstract landscape in an open source environment that not only embraces the dream of peace on Earth, but also explores the link between humanity and nature through time and space in the present.
