Printer Up Above the World So High
‘Printer Up Above the World So High’ focuses on the unimaginable quantity of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is estimated to be more than 100 billion. Data documenting the number of stars is input into a custom software program which generates a series of marks printed continuously and in real time on a roll of paper. Each mark is placed by the software to approximate the variations in size and relative distance between stars in our galaxy, with every mark representing a single star. Running continuously it would take this installation 100 years to print a mark for every star in our galaxy.
