What is in the edges of the picture
The photographs of Mars taken by the rover are accesses to the other-than-earth. They are also filters, with a scientific, machinic, technological gaze: fictions, simulations. How do these framed images make us envisage this other-than-human world? What do we see through the eyes of the machine? And how do we understand them?

the land is captured by the camera
         the camera become the land
                                        what is lost
                                                 is the machine lying to us?
                                                 what are we missing out?
