Pale Blue Dot

On February 14, 1990, the space probe Voyager 1, from a distance of 6 billion kilometers, took one last photo of Earth before it exited our solar system. Three of the frames sent back to Earth that showed our planet were taken using blue, green and violet filters and recombined to form the now famous photo known as Pale Blue Dot. This composition's sounds were created similarly, utilizing filters and mapping light spectra onto sound spectra. The work’s 4-part structure is also derived from the creation of the photograph, with the three filtered photographs combining to form the full “picture” in the final portion of the work. 

On a personal level, I have always found this photo inspiring for many different reasons. Whenever I see this photo, I find myself contemplating life's "big questions”.  Whether the photo, or this work, provides any answers to those “big questions" is something everyone can decide for themselves.
