Pierre Gervois’ MARS series features the historically documented but never seen before fourteen historic markers created by the survivors of the Great Martian Revolution (Late XXIst century) and send into the Metaverse’s deep space for safeguarding.

The fourteen pieces are the classified video transmissions received from the Metaverse’s survey ships during the encounters with each marker. Each transmission includes the sound recorded inside the ship’s cockpit, including the mandatory Bach’s Goldberg Variations, the only authorized music aboard the ships, per regulations of the Metaverse’s central government, established in mid- XXIIIth century.

Each transmission ends abruptly. All fourteen survey ships disappeared and were never seen again.
