The Golden Record
When the Voyager Interstellar Mission launched in 1977 it carried with it a phonograph containing messages, music, images and sounds of Earth and humanity. The phonograph was produced by astronomer Carl Sagan, who led a team of artists, writers and scientists to create a kind of time capsule intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Golden Record is a pure expression of a pre-digital, technologically sophisticated humanities that is dependent upon and celebrates the points of contact between science, art, nature, culture and mathematics.
The Voyager phonograph is a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk encoded with sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. The Golden Record
