Original artwork, not a still
Terre des Hommes (1939) (Wind, Sand and Stars)
The machine does not isolate us from the great problems of nature but plunges us more deeply into them.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The statement challenges the idea that machines separate people from nature's great problems. Instead, it presents machinery as a means of becoming more deeply involved in them. That reversal frames technology as part of an encounter with nature rather than a guaranteed escape from it.
