The Search for Life in the Universe
Did you ever wonder what the recordings of people sent in to space on NASA's Voyager spacecraft sounded like? Well, you need wonder no longer. This short film made for the 2010 World Science Festival has all of the recordings, together with the nation that they represent. Perhaphs one day across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, will hear this recording and have a good chuckle about the squeakiness of our voices....

The Known Universe
This film shows the known universe as mapped through astronomical observations. Each and very moon, planet and galaxy is represented to scale and is in its correct measured location. Th data is maintained and curated by the American Museum of Natural History. Altogether, this makes for some journey.
From expectant mothers to the ends of the known universe and back into the womb, this is a stunning and deeply touching meditation journey designed to open all your senses and to give perspective to the enormity of our 15 billion lightyear long universe journey into being the source of existence in skin for this experience.
This video is a composite of several video sources, Valarien provide the music, and Dreaming Bear is the narrator.
