Alexander Rose: Land Art for the Next 10,000 Years
Berkeley Center for New Media · University of California, Berkeley
About
How do you build an monument scale sculptural machine that will last as long as civilization? For the last fifteen years The Long Now Foundation and Alexander Rose have been working on building this icon of long-term thinking. Rose is currently managing the 10,000 Year Clock project underway in West Texas where they have already excavated over 500 vertical feet through solid rock to house the Clock.
Alexander discusses the research and design process that has taken him as far as the arctic Seed Vault in Svalbard, to the ultra-secret Mormon geneological vaults in Salt Lake City. He shows the building process now underway for the 10,000 Year Clock that includes specialized excavation robots and the fabrication of the Clock itself (n.b. Rose's discussion of the building process is not included in this video as it is not yet public information).
