    36 hours to go!
    This is the final update about our project Living Deep Time Year 000001.
    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/anthropocene/living-deep-time-year-000001

    We’ve received heartfelt comments from many backers to the Kickstarter campaign about their own dreams for living time differently in the Anthropocene. And because of that, we believe in the meanings of this project more than ever.

    We are ready to –
    redirect our habits about time into wildly new directions and meanings.
    re-think how we currently live and frame the “hours” of a day.
    step out of time as it’s currently dictated by our digital devices.
    learn more about how ancient humans and non-humans have marked time.
    pay attention to how time assembles with strange new weather patterns and rearranges seasons.
    learn more about how our planet meets vast scales of time as it moves through our solar system.
    look up, out, beyond, inward, and spend creative time with time’s vagaries.
    And, we especially are ready to sit with deep time in the Anthropocene and be humbled and inspired by the challenging ways that it is playing out for humans and non-humans around the world.

    We are 90% funded with 36 hours to go (ending Friday, December 11th at 9:02 am)

    Please share the story of our project if you find it worthy, and please join us in setting new kinds of time into motion.

    Your support unleashes the POWER of art to carry us – with meaning and wonder – into the turbulence of Anthropocenian time itself.

    This project can give two artists the RESOURCE OF TIME to imagine and create a calendar for marking and living Anthropocene standardly strange time (AS2T). We are convinced that this is important and urgent work because how we humans are doing time on planet earth is setting up deep futures for ourselves, each other, and all living things.

    Thank you for receiving this message, and for considering this invitation to become part of our interactive creative process in the coming year. We are wishing you all the best in 002016!

    Sincerely,
    Jamie Kruse
