Season 1

The cosmos undoubtedly pushes human boundaries—physically, mentally, and spiritually—and curiosity is a key element that drives new generations to go faster, longer, and further than the one before. The relentless pursuance of answers is an important and intoxicatingly dangerous human trait. As each century brings with it new challenges, scientists are now looking to artists to imagine creative ways to solve today’s biggest questions.

The splendor of satellite communication interpreted through a geometric dance The majority of satellites orbiting Earth are for communication purposes. These “cosmic links" connect humans from around the globe with pools of knowledge and innovation that bridge educational and social divides. This collective dance of the satellites orbiting our planet is reinterpreted in this film through an exquisite light dance choreographed by Sadeck Waff. Where the likes of Musk and Hofeller might look to outer space, Waff looks to nature on Earth for inspiration.

An intergalactic plea for help in the face of climate change. This film tells the story of a 2021 re-make of the Golden Record. Only this time, it’s not so much about showcasing our beauty, culture, and evolution as a species, but rather a plea for help.

Meet the woman who stares at supermassive black holes. In April 2017, a worldwide network of scientists linked eight telescopes around the globe to create the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). American astrophysicist Sera Markoff, who lends her knowledge and voice to this film, was part of the select group of people who worked to capture the first-ever image of a black hole in 2019. This marked not only a milestone in human collaboration but a scientific breakthrough that will bring us closer to studying the evolution of galaxies and life forms, and allow us to expand on the theory of relativity.
