Diptych of photographs printed on Epson Premium Lustre Photopaper 240gsm
These photos were captured at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program(H.A.A.R.P) site while working on a new media project titled Ghosts in the Air Glow (funded by the Canada Council for the Arts). HAARP is a phased array of 180 HF crossed-dipole antennas spread over 33 acres of land in Alaska. The site was built in the 1990s and was a jointly managed program of the United States Air Force and the United States Navy. The goal of the research at HAARP is to conduct fundamental study of the physical processes at work in the very highest portions of our atmosphere, called the thermosphere and ionosphere.Since 2015, the bulk of the research experiments conducted at HAARP are in plasma physics. However, there is a great deal of potential for research in radio propagation. Very few experiments have been done with transmitting audio and still images.
