The Sagan Series is a project by Reid Gower to pay tribute to the late, great Carl Sagan. This series of videos combines Sagan’s words with fresh new footage, re-energizing his ideas and making them relevant for a new generation.

So much of movement is invisible to the human eye. Sure, our eyes can see a cymbal move when struck by a drum stick. But it’s what our eyes can’t see that is most captivating. Metal rippling as if it were fabric fluttering in the wind, droplets of water bouncing and hovering just above the surface of a puddle; the beauty and science of movement is in the details. And the details are often the result of vibrations.

This massive project aims to make art more accessible to the public by making it available online and searchable. Let’s hope that this project is not only successful, but spreads to other countries too.
