This stop-frame animation was made using an astronomical telescope mount as it tracked the movements of Mars for twenty four hours from my home in Whitley Bay. It is accompanied by an image from the Martian surface captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover captured at the same time. The site of the work becomes distributed between my home, the surface of another planet and the screens of multiple viewers online.
