From Source to Poem
From Source to Poem depicts the genesis and future of the western world from the perspective of the Library of Congress’s immense audiovisual archive which preserves not only cultural but also industrial history, thanks to the many media formats. Analogous to white noise, the film posits that, over time, all unique voices will increasingly overlap, drowning each other out.
