Join us tomorrow at 4 pm ET for a Panel Discussion reimagining the way we think about time. Our Creative Director Russell Greenberg will be joined by Nicholas Paul Brysiewicz of The Long Now Foundation, and Theodore Ullrich of Tomorrow Lab.⠀
⠀
In the face of massive challenges like global warming, never before has our ability to make long-term decisions been so critically linked to the survival of our species. Could a new story of time help us?⠀

One Century, is made from five lightwells comprised of black stacked paper joined together by brass connectors, together totaling 7.5 ft in length. The first lightwell fills up to its brim with drops of light once every minute and empties when full into the second lightwell, which fills up once every hour, which then empties into days, years, and ultimately centuries. The century chamber is 18% full of light and will be momentarily completely full on New Year’s Eve 2099 before it empties, making space for the next century. #RetellingTime
One Day, made from 4 ft of stacked white paper and brass, fills up with light slowly over the course of 24 hours. At midnight it fills to its brim with light, and then empties, making space for the first drip of light the following day. #RetellingTime
One Hour, is made from two lightwells comprised of black stacked paper joined together by a brass connector, together totalling 5 ft in length. The first lightwell fills up to its brim with drops of light once every minute and empties when it is full into the second lightwell which fills up once every hour. #RetellingTime
