This installation represents the topography of two major sites related to the research of biosignatures on Mars. The lighting of these low-relief pieces translates into light intensity the position of the sun on the horizon in real time on each of the sites.
‘Gale Crater’ is the landing site of MSL/Curiosity (Curiosity is a car-sized rover designed to explore the crater Gale on Mars as part of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL)).
‘Jezero’ is the next site to be explored by the space probe Mars 2020. A permanent lake was located there and traces of river deltas can still be found.
