Longplayer

Came across this intriguing project on Daily Dose (courtesy of Nora Farrell):

Longplayer combines an interactive sculpture and a systems-theory experiment in the service of a 1,000-year-long musical composition.



An ambitious project for anyone who ever wondered about humanity’s ability to pursue trans-generational art, Longplayer was launched in 1999 by composer (and Pogues member) Jem Finer and an advisory board that included Brian Eno. In 2000, the project was turned over to the Longplayer Trust, a compendium of experts dedicated to its preservation until the 2999 completion of its first cycle.
