Mariner 9 by Kelly Richardson is a 3-channel HD video installation that will appear in Whitley Bay’s historic Spanish City Dome until August 19, 2012. She used images and data from the NASA archive to make the surface of Mars as accurate as possible.
About the piece:
Mariner 9 presents a panoramic view of a Martian landscape set hundreds of years into the future, littered with the rusting remains from various missions to the planet. Despite its suggested abandoned state, several of the spacecraft continue to partially function, to do their intended jobs, to ultimately find signs of life, possibly transmitting the data back to no one.
Morning on Mars. Spectacular images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), which was carried aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Fun-shaped false-color infrared images of clay minerals in craters and escarpments on Mars.
Impact cratering and erosion combine to reveal the composition of the Martian underground by exposing materials from the subsurface. Investigation of exposed clay minerals at thousands of Martian sites by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter suggests a long period of wet, warm conditions, mostly underground.
