Terra Mars Series
Imagine if Earth and Mars were interchanged? These videos presented artistic satellite images of Earth and Mars developed using Artificial Intelligence. The views of Mars were based on neural network models generated from Earth’s topographical data, and vice versa. These images could be interpreted in multiple ways, such as a playful remix of planets, a preview of terraformed Mars, or a dystopic future of Earth.
