Notes: New media artwork by Canadian artists Daniel Jolliffe and Jocelyn Robert.  Their work watches and responds to the movement of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites (including their current azimuth, elevation and signal strength)  As satellite data is received, the artwork inverts the traditional use of this information by procesing and transforming it into musical notations.  This unique, continous musical composition is then played live on an electronic Dislavier piano.

"This publication documents the exhibition Ground station ... curated by Liane Davidson and held at the Surrey Art Gallery 23 Feb. to 11 May 2003."
