Armstrong | Oppenheimer
The theme of joy and repentance in science and technology. Neil Armstrong's and Robert Oppenheimer's videos are perfectly matched in scale and volume, and are played back at the same time. The words of both men spread through the space as if they were drowning each other out, and are played on a loop forever.
