Kim Zumpfe: Ground Truthing draws on the origins of photogrammetry and GPS imaging — specifically the Casa Grande Corona Photogrammetric Test Range in the Arizona desert, where over 250 concrete Maltese crosses were used in the 1960s to calibrate satellite technology — and traces these military and spatial technologies into the domestic sphere. Paintings and a projected multimedia collaboration with Luke Quezada weave together 3D models, field recordings, aerial imaging, declassified documents, and home decorations, considering how the precision developed for reconnaissance has given way to the deliberately blurry, rarely updated maps of our everyday homes. The exhibition meditates on perceptual distortions of the earth's surface and the gap between targeted military certainty and the fuzzy self-location of domestic life.
