Ann Druyan: The Golden Record, and the Memory of Our Hearts
@ Block Museum
online
Opening Wednesday, March 8th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
What do we owe to the memory of each other’s hearts? From her work in the 1970s as the Creative Director for NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Messaging Project to her current role as writer and producer of the beloved television series Cosmos, Ann Druyan has devoted her life to expanding the horizons of human empathy and communication. In insisting that the thresholds of cosmic exploration must be approached with sincerity, humility, and generosity, she has had a deep influence on Dario Robleto’s work throughout his career. Druyan and Robleto will be joined in conversation with “The Heart’s Knowledge” exhibit catalogue contributor Jennifer Roberts, Professor of the Humanities at Harvard, who is co-authoring a book with Robleto about the interstellar journey of the pulse wave recordings that Druyan included on the Voyager Golden Record.
This online conversation is held in connection with current Block Museum exhibition, “The Heart’s Knowledge: Science and Empathy in the Art of Dario Robleto.” It is co-sponsored by the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities as part of their ENERGIES dialogue, a year-long conversation about energies—personal, collective, planetary—from different humanistic perspectives.
