The concept of the “long now” refers to the historical record of how we arrived where we are today and brings into question how current practices, emerging technologies, and human interactions will shape the future of weed science and crop protection in general. In his book entitled The Clock of the Long Now, Stewart Brand ( Reference Brand1999) asks: “How do we make long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare? How do we make the taking of long-term responsibility inevitable?” (p. A science responding to current needs but failing to make long-term thinking an essential component. (The interactive track on the CD has nothing to do with Eno).My view begins with the assumption that weed science historically has and continues to be primarily a “reactive” science. It included a further five Bell Studies some being variants of existing material and others previously unreleased. Later, the same year, a short CD was sent out to wine dealers to promote Pelissero's Long Now wine (named in honour of the foundation). Profits from the sale of this album are donated to the Foundation. Musically, most of the tracks are also accompanied by a variety of standard, synth-based ambient backdrops and drones.
To that end, mathematical algorithms were also used to generate some of the sounds Eno also made use of his generative software. imagine bells with quite different physical properties from those we now know". He also tried to imagine what bells might sound like in the future, which took him "out of the bounds of current physical and material possibilities. The sounds on the album are entirely synthesizer-based, although Eno studied the actual physics of bell tones in order to simulate the kinds of bells familiar to modern ears. I had nurtured an interest in bells for many years, and this seemed like a good alibi for taking it a bit deeper". "When we started thinking about The Clock, we naturally wondered what kind of sound it could make to announce the passage of time. The first prototype of the clock is working and on permanent display at the London Science Museum.Įno, a member of the foundation, created this album both as a tribute to the project, and as an artistic expression of the vast swathes of time represented by the sheer "long-termness" of the philosophy behind the clock. The century hand advances once every one hundred years, and the cuckoo comes out on the millennium." "I want to build a clock that ticks once a year. Daniel Hillis, intended to keep time for 10,000 years. One of their projects involves the construction of a clock, designed by W. This is an album of studies made for the Long Now Foundation, an organization founded in 1996 that aims to "provide a counterpoint to what it views as today's 'faster/cheaper' mindset and to promote 'slower/better' thinking".
