Deep Time Walk
Click for this Resource!
The Deep Time Walk is a 4.6km walking audio history of life. This unfolding takes you from 4.6bn years ago to the present day, with each metre representing one million years. As you walk you begin to recognise the long geological processes and self-regulating patterns that have produced the conditions for the evolution of life. The Deep Time Walk App is a ground-breaking new project, which enables anyone, anywhere to experience a walking audio history of the living Earth. We have assembled a broad and experienced team to produce it.

Thanks for adding this Jim. Fred Adams in Spain and Geoff Ainscow in California, DTJN members, have been working on developing this app. Looks like it’s coming together!
Yes, this is a marvelous adventure. This project is opening a new creative field around the original concept of Walking Audio Books. Now that we are at a few steps to finish the programming of the engine, i am expecting to give birth to more walking audio books to experience space and time scales with the body and the mind at the same time. A lot of ideas around the corner and happy to listen also to the inspirations of the community, what would you like to walk in time and space ? (pro.gpsmuseum.eu)
Our crowdfunding campaign is open, go to deeptimewalk.org to pledge. We need £20K to complete the app.
It is a breakthrough educational experience, a walking audio history of Earth, which will be available to everyone anywhere in the world. The user walks 4.6 km (4.6 billion years) while listening to an engaging conversation between ‘the scientist’ and ‘the fool’ (the truth teller) narrated by two Shakespearean actors and produced by a skilled BBC drama producer. Our plan is to publish the app on Apple and Android platforms in the Fall. We will much appreciate your pledge.
I hope you get fully funded. Please put up reports in the News Feed (Activity) about your progress!!
