Culture- Leif


This video shows all Images contained on golden record attached to the Voyager Spacecraft which departed earth in 1977 and are the most distant man made objects (now over 13 billion miles away). These images portray life and man's achievements by the time the satellite was launched. I find this interesting because it will remain untouched and protected by the vacuum of space for thousands of years.



Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album was one of the most easily recognizable and popular albums of the 1970's. Few people realize that it's lyrics, melodies, and beats align near perfectly with the plot and circumstances in the movie "The Wizard of Oz.  Starting The Dark Side of the Moon on the 3rd roar of the lion in the beginning of the movie sets the movie and record into amazing parallel.



My third example of culture is Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone". This series, began in 1959 and was in production until 1964 might feel dated by it's black and white appearance, however it's plots and concepts are complex and well beyond it's time. This series often inspires my art. If you haven't watched it before I highly recommend checking it out on Netflix!
