Hi guys, thought I'd drop you all a line to introduce myself properly to you all. I have a couple of additions to the atlas if you have some time (which I'm sure none of you do given the time of year!)The first is a book called 'Pip Pip'by Jay Griffiths which was recommended to me by a friend when we began developing some time-based work at the start of the year. It gives some really interseting viewpoints on the way in which we regard time and the concept of it 'running out'. The other is 'The Clock of the Long Now: Time and Responsibility' by Stewart Brand, which focusses on the work of a group of people who are actively creating a clock which measures time in terms of hundreds of years as opposed to minutes and seconds, in an attempt to lengthen our concept of how long 'now' is. (Afore mentioned friend is a member of this group of people which I think is rather exciting!) Good for a relaxed read.
I hope you're all doing very well and wouldbe good to hear your thoughts.
Gil.
Hi Gillian,
I'll add those to the Atlas, and send out a new version in the new year. I had heard of the Clock of the Long Now project, but not Pip Pip. In a kind of connected line of thought its worth looking at 'Earth' by Richard Rorty, which looks at our understanding of the Earth in Geological terms and refers to Geological Time, which is vast. I will also have some reading on time from academic sources to put into the mix after new year.
Best,
Phil
