According to Wikipedia, Atacama is an arid desert zone of active volcanoes approaching 6,000 meters, surrounded by turquoise lagoons, geysers and deep valleys. This South American desert is famous for its starry nights, thanks to its location in the intertropical zone, combining extreme dryness, altitude and very low light pollution. Several international astronomical observatories have set up in this “extraterrestrial” desert, where NASA has tested small vehicles before they set off to explore Mars. A robot named Zoë found colonies of bacteria and lichen at two separate sites in this desert, which has the lowest density of organic activity on Earth. In Cosmographies, this singular ecosystem is seen through the eyes of Xuê Noon a Maori astrophysicist from the future. A composite film that is at once poetic, ethnological, militant and prophetic.
