Carl Sagan, who was called “America’s most effective salesman of science” by Time magazine, spent much of his life translating technical scientific explanations into something easily digestible by the general public. Sagan argued for the necessity of planetary science and exploration of Earth’s closest neighbors, with the goal of giving perspective to humanity’s fate on planet Earth. If we are to survive, Sagan argued, we need to work together as a larger group of people from divergent ethic and cultural backgrounds, and that national boundaries are not evident when viewing Earth from space, for example. “The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena,” he stated.
Artists seek to make visible the seemingly invisible connections with the cosmos, including impacts from the sun and the moon here on earth. In Transmissions, the artists invite you to consider your relationship with light and perception, and how we comprehend particles and waves, radiation and rays, gravitational pull, energy, motion and time. The works included demonstrate the many ways energetic waves operate on the senses and support life here on planet Earth.
