Synthetic Mars Terrain provides a unique type of cognitive cartography using a GAN neural network trained on 1.2 millions of photos that the MRO telescope captures of the surface of Mars. HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) is the most powerful camera ever sent to another planet, one of six instruments onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It arrived at Mars in 2006 and has been imaging ever since. The MRO camera’s high-resolution capability (imaging up to 30 centimeters per pixel) remains unprecedented for any existing orbiter in the study of the planet, as well as being an indispensable instrument for helping to select landing sites for robotic and future human exploration. The changing projection-mapped virtual texture of the data sculpture is a virtual map on which the planet's possible futures and hidden histories are revealed.
