The Voyager space craft's Golden Record
This diagram is the given instructions to operate a disk called the Voyager Golden Record which was launched with the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. It contains visuals and sounds to portray the types of life and culture on Earth. Such a device would probably be laugh at or destroyed if it was found in hands of other life more or less intelligent then ourselves. As with the cave painting discoveries in France, the pictogram is an example that art or the act of drawing geometric symbols is the key to all life, etched here on this golden disk. The statement below was part of the intergalactic journey of the American Voyager spacecraft.
If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded content, here is our message: This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and feelings. We are attempting to survive time so we me live into yours. We hope someday to solve the problems we face to join a community of galactic civilization. The record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe. - Jimmy Carter, June, 1976
A plaque placed on board Pioneer 10 in 1972 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft in 1973. "Hey white woman stand up straight"
It would have been more practical as a self generated device encased in a indestructible sphere.

The audio should be samples be our heart beat, nevertheless the following montage is an example of what we look like to the outside world. Who knows, the aliens we are in search of may derive from ourself millions of light years ahead. The universal elements of life; Magnetics, electricity, fibonacci spiral, light, magenta, cyan and yellow.
In a dream, I remember seeing the vision of the statue of David as an epoch to the end of the World. Somehow the Sun had died and this was a reminder that only art survives the test of time.
