Exoplanetary Speculative Atlas is a transdisciplinary exercise where astrophysics, speculative fiction and scientific communication are mixed in the central media artifact of a web page. As premises, the participant is supposed to be part of a mission on an exoplanet and must compose a log composed of several elements, including a fictional log, a photo with noise and a possible cartography. Thus, the elements of speculative fiction enter into dialogue with the mechanisms of scientific communication from a critical perspective.
