"Wanderers" Erik Wernquist interpreta a Carl Sagan

El artista sueco Erik Wernquist creo este corto "Wanderers" donde usa las palabras de "Pale Blue Dot" de Carl Sagan para mostrarnos su interpretación de lo que hará la raza humana en un futuro.


For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy, unfulfilled. Even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven't forgotten. The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood. We invest far-off places with a certain romance. This appeal, I suspect, has been meticulously crafted by natural selection as an essential element in our survival. Long summers, mild winters, rich harvests, plentiful game—none of them lasts forever. It is beyond our powers to predict the future. Catastrophic events have a way of sneaking up on us, of catching us unaware. Your own life, or your band's, or even your species' might be owed to a restless few—drawn, by a craving they can hardly articulate or understand, to undiscovered lands and new worlds.

Herman Melville, in Moby Dick, spoke for wanderers in all epochs and meridians: "I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas..."

Maybe it's a little early. Maybe the time is not quite yet. But those other worlds— promising untold opportunities—beckon.

Silently, they orbit the Sun, waiting.




Con Interstellar tan reciente, es imposible evitar sentir que la voz de Sagan hace cosas que Nolan no supo explicar y tuvo que poner a Cooper a relatarnos, también que ese polémico soundtrack de Hans Zimmer podría tener otra salida en este corto (sin dejarnos sordos)





Wanderers is a vision of humanity's expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available.
Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea with the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds - and above all, how it might appear to us if we were there.

Los cortos en Sundance

¿Sera sólo aquí que los cortos no tienen una audiencia?
Habrá que hacer colecciones (medianamente) coherentes para que el público acuda a verlos ó grandes carteleras

No lo sé, mientras tanto, y en lo que esperamos las nominaciones para el Oscar en ésta categoría, ésta es la lista de los cortos que aparecerán en Sundance.
