Techno-failure as art

A clip off Vimeo entitled Kosmonauta that has been accurately described as "haunting". [vimeo 106216724 w=500 h=213]

Kosmonauta from Mirjam Veske on Vimeo.

The premise is that a 1961 recording of the alleged final moments of a failed Soviet space mission was not a hoax, as many have claimed. The visuals present the stark contrast between the makeshift earthbound listening post and the primitive spacecraft's interior, and the soundtrack is a perfect blend of slow, sad music (Ólafur Arnald's "Out To Sea") with the transmissions of the doomed "female cosmonaut".
