Chronos Cube
An archive of humanity and the planet we call home.
“Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.”
Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994
A cube with 576 images inside.
Central module of an infinite system.
This project intends to be taken to exhaustion, with the continuous collection of mutations of the world. In these cubes fit all the images of cyclical processes of metamorphosis, frequent (which we often fail to value), irreversible processes that we observe or induce, but also unique moments in Human history.
These metamorphoses are delimited by the space of time defined by the realization of 9 images. The time span can range from a few seconds to several hours, days, months or years.

(selection)
These images, registered and gathered in a world in imminent collapse, will be deposited in different places on planet Earth.
A duplicate of all cubes will be sent to space, as a "time capsule", similar to the Golden Record included aboard of Voyager probes.
To serve as memory to possible survivors of our species or for any other extraterrestrial being that might have the ability to see.
