Galactic Whispers Part 2 - The Space Junk Conveyor

Artists: Laura Bernstein, Daniel O'Neill and Jimi Pantalon

Event Date: Dec 10, 2016

Location: Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY

Reflecting upon humanity as viewed from deep space, Galactic Whispers explores transmission and transmutation through sculpture, video and sound. An interactive experience inspired by the launching of Voyager 1 and the premise of The Golden Record, a 12-inch copper plated phonograph record included in the spacecraft “containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.” The Golden Record functions as a “time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials.” This installation examines the breakdown of stories and information in our hyper mediated world.
