The dark side of Mars?



| Questions and answers based on these photographs:

Q: Are all the original photographs genuine?
A: Good question, I didn't go there to check.

Q: Did one of the rovers try to draw an outline of a rover or a buddhist symbol on the ground?
A: Honestly? I don't know. Maybe it tried to draw both.

Q: What was your main interest in this sequence of photographs taken by more than one robotic vehicle?
A: Coincidence or not, one of the robotic vehicles reminded me a lot of what I was doing in the early 1990s, mainly related to the subject of Photography, specifically transforming the available space in the house into a place to work with the processing of photographs, therefore having to isolate it from the light temporarily because the best place to do the processing was the kitchen, which would return to its full kitchen condition after the work was finished, and to temporarily cover the kitchen window I made a wooden frame as a lid, but filled it with cardboard so that the finished piece would not be too heavy, it would have to be placed and removed from the window easily, with two handles, the entire piece finished with matte black paint, very related to the part in the robotic vehicle where there are the NASA and JPL logos, also the two registration guide drawings, a symbol that I used on a book cover related to Business Administration in the first half of the 1990s, it is also useful to remember that I had to prevent light from passing through the cracks in the door that led to the outside of the house, a meticulous and artisanal job done with cardboard and black paint on the door frame, and to prevent light from passing under the two doors I made two black cylindrical bags filled with sand.

Q: Did anyone value your personal and professional initiative outside of your professional environment?
A: Honestly? Almost no one, it was me and myself.

Q: What now?
A: Currently, in relation to electronic art, a more advanced quality standard replaces the previous standard, if the person is unable to keep up with the changes, then they make art with what they have available, and perhaps everything is not working correctly, hence the anecdote related to glitch effects, "don't do the best, do the worst best", or nostalgic art, "it marked an era".
