The series was inspired by public appearances and lectures of science educators like Neil DeGrasse
Tyson, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Michio Kaku, Lawrence Krauss or Brian Green. It seems that
their attencion is not only with educating the public but also with planting mindbending thoughts
that make you reasses your place in the world and in the Universe.
The series consists of 10 manualy and digitaly modified analog photographs, everyone of them
inspired by quotes from dr Niel DeGrasse Tyson.
1. "Imagine a lifeform that is 1% different from us, in the same direction that we are 1% different
from chimps(...)"
2. "(....)things we're made of are traceable back to the center of stars(...)"
3. "In the Universe extremly rare phenomenon happen all the time."
4. "(....)we're not even made of odd things(...)"
5. "The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you."
6. "Four dimentional cube has eight sides and each of those sides are three dimentional cubes."
7. "It would be inexcusably egocentric to suggest that we are alone in the cosmos."
8. "So I wonder if we're just blithering idiots in the presence of even a trivially smarter species than
us."
9. "We evolved in the plains of Africa, just not wanting to get eaten by lion."
10. "Those species would come, see what we're doing and conclude: there is no intelligent life on
Earth."
