0.0 x 0.0

http://vimeo.com/70741356 The video 'Words from Carl Sagan' presents a personal message from Dr. Carl Sagan, the representative of the culture that created the record sent to space. The Dr. Carl Sagan video archive is edited in a way that makes him confess to the project's failure and explain the inherent inability of the image to represent reality. The result brings to mind the importance of the scientist in Western society and the positioning of science as a religion that offers absolute truth.
