The Moment of Long Now
The Moment of Long Now is an alternative news tv channel. The channel
is showing short snippets of news footage with a pace that is a hundred
times slower than what we are used to. A piece of custom made software
magnifies and manipulates the images in real-time, creating an illusion
of a virtual camera which is able function and move around within a still
moment.
The name of the project was inspired by the Long
Now Foundation, an organisation with a goal "to promote 'slower/better'
thinking and to foster creativity in the framework of the next 10,000
years."
