The Art of It All

What have you learned about yourself or the world as a result of living through the COVID-19 pandemic? Your challenge is to express your experience of living through this historic time through a work of art.

The Message

Summary

We created a three-minute video, which would bring our writings and lessons learned from isolation during the pandemic closer, in an artistic approach to the personification of a future person who sends teaching of hope and growth to humanity in 2020. The artistic project includes audiovisual media thatdemonstrate human reach, loneliness, and the transformation of negative aspects of reality, towards construction and personal and social growth.It is above all, a call to self-knowledge and accompaniment even from a distance.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We must say that we have been able to include learning about loneliness, growth, and hope. We include in a short film, a sample of writings that is accompanied by audiovisual media provided by the NASA video library and the EoBrowser. Along with a musical background, it connects with people who like us, feels uncertain in the face of such a difficult year. It is a message of hope for the people of 2020.

How We Developed This Project

We decided to choose this challenge because we have the need to share what we felt during the year. How the pandemic had affected us, the problems that arose from it, and how loneliness became part of us. In an innovative way, we transform words into a characterization of a human from the future, coming from a place far from space. Through its representation, we shifted from a discouraging approach to a hopeful message, which would allow us to recognize all the good we were achieving, and what could happen in the future, if we managed to continue evolving, just as the messenger of the future did.

Practically audiovisual media in the video of the Eo Browser from the Euro Data Cube Sentinel Hub Resources, from remote places to Mexico, through Sentinel-3 SLSTR-S4 Reflectance and Sentinel -3-OLC- Tristimulus, which through a timelapse that runs from January 1, 2020, to early March. We could observe the evolution of the patterns that looked like starry skies and mares ruffled by the waves. These image sequences allow us to place the main objective of the short film and its evolution.

Throughout the video, you can also see several clippings belonging to the Image and Video View Library of Earth NASA, which is present in the three minutes, with various strategic shots according to the meaning of the phrase.

The Open Video Shot program was used to edit the footage by shots that corresponded appropriately with each phrase that was played. There were no problems when using this software, as it was with the experience of use. Regarding music, the rights to the song's title license Titan, by composer Scott Buckley, had to be respected, offering the opportunity to use it freely, as long as its attribution was accredited (licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0).
