This book is by Bay Artist/Investigator/Geologist Doctorial Candidate at UC Berkeley Trevor Paglen. He came to my school (CCA) and gave a talk and I've also seen him speak a few other times. He's awesome. Super smart, informed and highly suspicious of, well, everything. He's an amazing artist. He did this insane project were he tried to photography spy satellites in the night sky. He told us he had to calculate trajectory, speed and all these other crazy variables to find the precise place in the sky where the satellites would be! Needless to say it was pretty impossible and I think he only got one image of a whitish streak.
Anyways, most of these patches are made by him, although I think a few are real. Regardless, really cool project. Check out his website for more!
