Questions about "Powers of 10"

"Powers 0f 10", a video which involves time (every two seconds) to go from a meter feet in Chicago, explores the universe using speed from one to 100 million light years, distance from 1 meter (ten to the zero power) to 1,000 million million million meters, and after coming back to the universe, introduces in the skin where explores cells, collagen, nucleus, DNA, electric forces, protons, neutrons, and molecules, among others. It must have been done using powerful scientific machines. In order to introduce it in the skin, the video uses meters, centimeters, millimeters, microns, and angstroms from 10 to the Minos 10 to 10 to the Minos 16.

Questions.

1 What was the autor's intention when he wrote about it?
2 What kind of audience woud be interested in watching that video?
3 Was the author drunk?
4 How much money did he problably earned for doing that?
5 Although the video is artistic, how can we use it?

I think, the video summarizes the evolution of scientific tasks that would have taken decades without modern machines and appliances. The way the video was made makes us travel in the space and at the and we can not come with definite conclusions. Probably after making that video the author had to visit his psychiatrist.

When watching the video, I had the sensation that I was going to heaven and in my way, I was learning about the positions of the moon and the rotations of the earth. Astronauts probably would have been the audience selected for the author's purpose. In my case, my imagination is unable to conceive such transportation from earth.
