THE VOYAGER
A GOLDEN RECORD
A decade long quest to document 20,000 years of human scientific and technological achievement.
A monumental bronze sculpture in tribute to the beauty, and fragility, of consciousness.
It is a celebration of how far we have come, and critique of how far we have yet to go.
Inspired by the messages we sent to the stars on the Voyager spacecraft, this 'Golden Record' is inscribed with over 500 discoveries, from early number theory to modern quantum physics.
"It is a representation of humankind’s restless, and sometimes fearful, quest for knowledge and discovery.
The figure literally reflects the universe that has created it, and that it at the same time reflects upon and strives to understand."
