Thinking about communication
Would humanity be better if we could all communicate more seamlessly? If there were no misinterpretations, mistranslations, poorly chosen words or suspicious inflections? What if we could communicate more perfectly with our loved ones? I built a giant dish, a listening device, to see if I could find love spoken in the void. There’s a cold, dark, lonely place to listen from.
