PROJECT SPACE
THE MESSENGER
MARIANA JANDOVA + TONY CRAN
Space probe Voyager traverses the depths of space, a diminutive creation of human ingenuity and an overwhelming desire to reach out, to stretch oneself beyond the limits imposed by our beautiful living Earth. The departure of Voyager from its earthly home was but one of the signifiers of the rapidly changing society in the second half the 20th century. Just like Voyagers’ message of peaceful exploration and communication with other life forms out there somewhere, the society witnessed an increasing occurrence of a new type of social movement; one advocating non-violence, respect for other cultures and beliefs and a direction toward a more humanistic way of life.
