For all of our scientific advances, there are still many questions that remain unanswered. In the new book The Where, the Why, and the How, artists take a stab at explaining those mysteries. For this challenge, we asked you to create an illustration to answer the following question:
Are we alone in the universe?
it's all about the mystery of what's out there and how we correlate to it. we yearn for contact.

2nd of 3 in Series of 3....same thought about art conveying emotion to other beings
Veronica
1 of a series of 3 images with an emotional element, earthy and raw. Can art be a communication tool that would translate feelings and emotions to other life forms with a variety of mental and language abilities as it is with various human world/earth cultures?

This "Dream Tree" image might suggest that in the universe of the mind aloneness is impossible and so that I would summize that human man alone in the universe is not very probable either.

Are this earth's humans a type of being with mental abilities as a daffodil is a type of flower with specific properties?
Veronica
desire of human man to create is the mind using physical properties to attain the unknown

I've titled this BALANCE...interacting with forces outside the self perhaps?

My serious point is that we're far from alone on our planet. I poke fun at the conceit that humans are apart from the rest of nature. Let's make progress communicating with other mammals before trying it with aliens.

Stargazing is a passion of mine, so questions of the universe are not unfamiliar to me. As a kid I always answered "no" because I looked up into the night sky and saw the stars - back then it was as simple as that. I still don't think we're alone.

The diptych created from my original "Reproduction" series, depicts a surreal version of procreation which I envision taking place at all times in all places. Valetta 2013

I think when we start to explore the universe, the experience will be more like Lonely Planet-style traveling than Star Trek: backpacks, not uniforms. This is my vision of the fellow occupants of the cheap shared room at a hostel on another planet. Hopefully humanity will be more like the Kiwis (from New Zealand) than like us Americans....

The title of this piece is "Friends Through All Of Space & Time" It's made using acrylic paint on paper and it is the fourth in a series of four similar paintings that I did under your theme 'Are We Alone In The Universe?'
I really loved the stories of Neuroscience & Memory episode of your show, I hope you do something like this again it was very creatively inspiring.
I don't think anyone is ever alone in the universe.

The title is "Sojourner." It is a mixed media drawing/collage and is part of a body of work that comes directly out of a memory (with evidence in the form of a story written at age 7)of having truly believed for a period of about a year that I had travelled to outer space during surgery while having a tooth removed.
