I am very grateful to Outpost Artist Resources for awarding me a Cuts and Burns video editing residency. In June I spent 40 hours editing two video projects with editor extraordinaire and Pratt film/video operations manager and faculty, Matthew Hysell.

The video we completed is an 8 minute loop (still above) showing my hands turning rolls of silver gelatin printed images from the Viking Landers on Mars in the 1970s. The second project which I’m still working on uses digitized images from the Viking Landers to imagine the Lander’s visual scanning process over the course of day and night on Mars.
