Elsewhere: Mars (Macbook pro 15" edition)2014

 

Black and White contact prints made by placing photographic paper directly onto computer screens.

Elsewhere:Mars 2014-15 is an ongoing set of images that will continue to accumulate for the duration of the curiosity mission. The images were originally captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars, then sent as data across space, received by an array of three receivers positioned at 120º angles around the earths surface, transmitted via a number data centres and miles of fibre optic cable to appear on the screen of my laptop. The light from the screen is then captured by placing black and white photographic paper directly onto the screen to create a physical image. The images are constructed on the material site of the computer screen and become de-localised and suspended between the transmitted data and the surface of another planet.
