Kosmos. 2017
Entangling real and fictional, the short film Kosmos (2017) starts from the Francis Crick Institute’s scientist Ravi Desai's archaea project. It then travels back to 19th century naturalist explorers. Drawing comparison between the microscopic scale of “archaea molecular machines" and astronomical events in the cosmos, the project reflects the
shift in the history of science from singular investigators (little science) to increasingly large, multinational and interdisciplinary institutions (big science) (Vermeulen et al., 2013).
