Questions of permanence of information, immateriality of technology, and extreme projections of the future provide the starting point for the video. The film focuses on an interview with two physicists from CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider. The scenes in which the scientists discuss their desire to learn about the origins of matter as well as possible transmissions to the future are blended together with scenes of the film crew attempting to assemble material for a kind of time capsule or ark that will record for a post-human future aspect of our civilization. Loosely adaptated from the post-apocalyptic novel by Nevil Shute.
