Nights that made the machines

The real night sky, computed for the hour and the place, on five nights that changed what we expect of computers: Seoul when AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol, New York when Deep Blue beat Kasparov, San Francisco when ChatGPT went live, Hanover on the first night of the Dartmouth workshop, Yorktown Heights when Watson won Jeopardy!. Every star brighter than magnitude 6 where it actually was, the Moon at its true phase, the planets in place. A3 and A4 matte prints, made to order.
