Other long-term art projects

Various artists have been inspired in one way or another by the long term, also known as cathedral thinking. A number of interesting examples:

The Letters of Utrecht (02000 - as long as there are Saturdays): a poem that is written letter by letter every Saturday in the city center of Utrecht using stones.
The Time Pyramid of Manfred Laber in Wemdinge, Germany
The Future Library (02014 - 02114) of Katie Paterson in Oslo, Denmark.
The Longplayer at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London, a musical piece that lasts 100 years and has been playing since January 1, 2000.
The Tropfenstein machine (01996–02496) with which a stalactite is made in a museum in Hamburg.

"Voor een goed begrip van hetgeen geschreven wordt, moet steeds worden bedacht dat wanneer de natuur ter sprake komt daar dan stééds natuurlijke processen mee bedoeld worden, maar nooit de natuur in haar tijdelijke verschijningsvorm". Louis G. Le Roy ( 01924 - 02012 )

"Als we bouwen, laten we dan bedenken dat we voor de eeuwigheid bouwen. Laat het niet zijn voor het huidige genot, nog voor het huidige gebruik alleen; Laat het een zodanig werk zijn dat onze nakomelingen ons er dankbaar voor zijn". John Ruskin ( 01819 - 01900 )
