Remote Sensing roams through the territories of the global sex trade moving us from orbit into women's lives from Eastern Europe to East Asia. As Biemann explores the lifeworlds of sex workers, she invents a feminist media topography, layering her video perspectives of sexual laborers and their “personal data” within remote satellite imagery of the earth. Remote Sensing exposes what it means to sense the world remotely and charts the ambivalences surrounding the media technologies used to track, monitor and “sense” women's bodies from a distance. Biemann navigates a unique path through critical dialogues on the global sex trade, feminist geography and media activism
