Mariner 9

Tyneside Cinema and the Laing Art Gallery present Mariner 9, a giant panoramic vision of the planet Mars set 200 years in the future, by Canadian artist Kelly Richardson.

Created using NASA's own data, the planet's landscape is littered with the rusting remains of real and imagined spacecraft with some of them still showing signs of life - flickering, moving and transmitting data back to Earth where possibly there is no one left to receive it.

Mariner 9 was commissioned by Tyneside Cinema, supported using public funding by Arts Council England. The exhibition is supported by Art AV.
