‘The 10,000-year clock will mark time with astronomic and calendric displays and a chime generator designed with the help of Brian Eno that can produce over 3.5 million unique bell chime sequences — one for every day the clock is visited for the next 10,000 years.’ The 10,000 year clock is a mechanism built inside a mountain in Texas. Its existence helps us question. Can it have a similar effect on our thinking that the Apollo photographs of Earth had for concern for the environment? Are we being good Ancestors? What if…? Why have I never heard of this before today? https://longnow.org/clock/?cmdf=the+10%2C000-year+Clock+of+the+Long+Now #TIL

    @wilpercy I like dipping into Longplayer once in a while for similar reasons. There’s a listening post at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. https://longplayer.org/
