WeTransfer has rolled out an interactive exhibition of specially-commissioned music, film, art and literature which pays tribute to the the original Golden Record. Forty years ago, a group led by astronomer Carl Sagan set themselves a seemingly impossible challenge – to sum up what it means to be human, and capture these images, sounds, music and greetings on two Golden Records. These were placed aboard NASA’s Voyager I and II, and were intended as a message from Earth for any extraterrestrial life that might find them.
