These intriguing videos shed light on some of the ideas and inspiration behind the paintings and work of C Bangs, dealing with topics such as solar energy, evolution and our place in the cosmos.
Star Bright?
“Photos of earth from deep space led to a revival of Gaia, an ancient Earth goddess. Humans may collectively form the nervous system of Gaia and ultimately search the cosmos for her sisters.”
Biosphere Extension
“Solar thermal rockets may open the space frontier. Terrestrial life will reach out and spread. If we choose not to advance the alternative is bleak.”

“Today no terrestrial ecosystem is stable and safe. From space earth is a fragile living jewel.”
Paradise Regained
“Our interaction with the cosmos is a lot more ancient. Many of the atoms that later formed the sun, solarsystem, earth, environment and people have all been in stars that exploded perhaps 5 billion years ago.”
