The Expeditions

Several times a year I lead expeditions to view clandestine military activity. These expeditions take several forms. Some, like “San Diego is a Secret Base” and “UC Berkeley is a Secret Base” document the ways in which everyday landscapes are structured by hidden military activities. Other expeditions, like “Invisible Bases of the Basin and Range” and “Testing Ranges in the Antelope Valley” bring participants into the deep recesses of southwestern deserts to view infrastructures whose very existence is sometimes classified.

Expeditions are organized through universities, cultural institutions, or on an ad hoc basis. Previous expedition sponsors have included UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, and various art venues.
