Ladies and gentlemen, what you are observing here are magnified examples or facsimiles of human sperm.
Generation after generation of these tiny creatures have sacrificed themselves in their persistent, often futile, attempt to transport the basic male genetic code. But where is this information coming from? They have no eyes. No ears.
Yet some of them already know that they will be bald.
Over half of them will end up as women.
Four hundred million living creatures, all knowing precisely the same thing--carbon copies of each other in a Kamikaze race against the clock.
Some of you may be surprised to learn that if a sperm were the size of a salmon it would be swimming its seven-inch journey at 500 miles per hour.
If a sperm were the size of a whale, however, it would be traveling at 15,000 miles per hour, or Mach 20. Now imagine, if you will, four hundred million blind and desperate sperm whales departing from the Pacific coast of North America swimming at 15,000 mph and arriving in Japanese coastal waters in just under 45 minutes.
How would they be received?
Would they realize that they were carrying information, a message?
Would there be room for so many millions?
Would they know that they had been sent for a purpose?
Laurie Anderson (born Laura Phillips Anderson) is an American multidisciplinary artist known for her experimental music, innovative theatrical performances, and use of electronic technology. Born in New York City in 1947, she began her career in the 1970s as an avant-garde musician, blending elements of classical, jazz, and electronic music with poetic lyrics and surreal narratives. Her iconic performance "O Superman" (1981) brought her international fame, topping music charts and foreshadowing the use of synthesizers and sampling in pop music. Anderson has been a pioneer in integrating technology and art, utilizing computers, video, and electronic instruments to create immersive multimedia spectacles. Among her most notable albums are "Big Science" (1982), "Home of the Brave" (1986), and "Bright Red" (2005). Besides music, Anderson has also worked in film, television, and theater, receiving numerous awards for her artistic creations.
