ma.r.s.

2010—
ma.r.s. also makes use of images that were taken by a NASA space probe. The probe’s camera, which began orbiting Mars in 2006, continues to send a wide range of information about the planet’s surface back to Earth. By digitally processing the angles and colors of the image data, Ruff explored the potential of landscape photography through a lens that was trained on the distant Red Planet. (Note: Among the works from ma.r.s. presented in this exhibition will be some 3D photographs.)
