Design Management for The Clock of the Long Now (aka The 10,000 Year Clock) in collaboration with Danny Hillis, Jeff Bezos and the Long Now Foundation.
A monument scale mechanical clock, built inside a mountain, designed to keep accurate time for the next ten millennia. The Clock is hundreds of feet tall, engineered to require minimal maintenance, and powered by mechanical energy harvested from sunlight as well as the people that visit it.
The 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.
Ten thousand years is about the age of modern civilization, so The Clock will measure out a future of civilization equal to its past. This assumes our civilization is in the middle of whatever journey we are on — an implicit statement of optimism.
To see The Clock you need to start at dawn, like any pilgrimage. It will require a day’s hike to reach its interior gears.
It is still being assembled, deep inside a mountain, in West Texas.
