MARTE/LOGA is an essay on appropriation that reflects on humans and their projections on the red planet. The film addresses the relationship between Brazil and Mars, featuring images by artist Henrique Alvim Correia, who illustrated Wells' book War of the Worlds , embodying the first Martians in an image-based way. Correia's Martians inspired Spielberg in his 2005 version of War of the Worlds. There is speculation that the Red Star is not only the origin of communist symbols around the world, but also represents the utopia of early 20th century socialism, in addition to the red fear of the Cold War. In Brazil, Mars is projected in Niemeyer's architecture, in the music of Elis Regina, Caetano Veloso and Beth Carvalho, in addition to the Martian expedition of Mato Grosso reported by the Italian-Mexican writer Narciso Genovese. From a phase of telescopic observation, when Tesla and Marconi believed they could communicate with the Martians, science advances to a robotic phase that disproves the presence of inhabitants, presenting an arid and desert planet in a 20th century ecological exploration. The film reflects on the transmitted image of Mars that is composed of mosaics similar to medieval stone tablet cartographies and the computer-generated images that are treated as a counter-field of reality. In addition to an interview with the Mars Institute/NASA, the film ends with a lesson from a Martian.
