Welcome Earthling!

In 1977, NASA catapulted its «Golden Records» into the dark depths of space with the Voyager 1 & 2 space probes. With a shelf life of 500 million years, they are supposed to provide information about life on Earth. Back then, a small group of Americans curated an embellished selfie for the entire Earth:

Photos as if with a retro filter, music between European classical music and Azerbaijani bagpipes, as well as nature sounds in poor sound quality – our as yet unknown alien friends will get a pretty weird impression of us.

While billionaires are preparing the colonization of our neighboring planets today, the internationally traveling GOLDEN RECORD STUDIOS invite you to produce new, diverse records for future intelligences – in space or on earth. With various communities, experts, stakeholders & publics we ask:

What should today’s world selfie depict?
Who decides on its content?
How do we want to be remembered?
