Description

Let's imagine the silence right after that stoppage. Is it really silence? What other sounds and voices hide within the silence of the machines?

Synopsis

Sometimes, there are machines, gears, and systems that are so vast and complex they seem impossible to stop, even when most people believe we would live much better without them. The truth is that sometimes, it only takes “a particle smaller than a speck of dust” to stop almost all the machines in the world. Has that ever happened? Let’s imagine that it has. And let’s imagine the silence right after that stoppage. Is it really silence? What other sounds and voices hide within the silence of the machines? What languages do they speak and what do they say?
