We like to think we see the world as it is. And yet, how much slips past us, unnoticed? Take what we see, for example: the narrow band of light that our retinas detect is but a tiny sliver of what’s actually there—a small fraction of the vast electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays—all constantly surround us, passing by without registering in our perception. As a geospatial scientist, trained in remote sensing and computer vision, I have always been fascinated by this hidden world. It is a reminder that what we perceive is never the whole story, and that the world, in truth, is far richer, far more complex, and far more mysterious than our senses would have us believe.
Beyond the Field of View is a space for exploring that unseen world, for noticing what often goes unnoticed, and for questioning the assumptions we carry. Here, science and reflection take the stage together. The essays included here wander across disciplines—sometimes through the logic of computation, sometimes into the quiet poetry of natural systems—but always guided by curiosity and the desire to glimpse what lies beyond.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the images on this site that illustrate the essays were created by me using generative artificial intelligence.
