Talks Frans Lanting: A Lyrical View of the Earth
This video shows the great story of our earth being formed into what it is today. Lanting gives us an idea of the possibilities of how the formations on earth occurred. As Lanting's work shows, the earth's surface was molded by fire billions of years ago. This was followed up by the formation of oceans that was caused by heated geysers that produced water all over the world. Since this time, water has been the basis of all life on earth. Ages later, the water at the poles of the earth froze which caused the shaping of earth's edges. As the earth has aged since its beginning, life has gradually grown more and more complex. Plants and animals have diversified from very simple organisms that were here at earth's beginning. “Growing up became a lifestyle.” Earth's development makes for an amazing story that Frans Lanting is able to legitimately tell by using interesting facts and images. I absolutely loved the video and the ideas that Frans Lanting shared on the evolution of life.

“The whole animal world today lives on a stock pile of bacterial oxygen that is cycled constantly through plants and algae. And their waste is our breath and vise versa. This earth is alive and it’s made its own membrane, we call it atmosphere. This is the icon of our journey and you all here today can imagine and will shape where we go next.” – Frans Lanting
