Timecapsule

Another amazing piece of work from the brilliant mind of Jonathan Harris. If you haven't seen any of his stuff before, I'd encourage you to check his site: www.number27.org

The latest project is the Yahoo! Timecapsule. Here's the invitation I got:

Dear Friends,

I would like to share with you my latest work, a time capsule, commissioned by Yahoo!.

The time capsule invites anyone in the world to contribute five simple things: words, pictures, sound, video, and drawings, in response to ten universal ideas: love, sorrow, anger, faith, beauty, fun, past, hope, now, and "you".

The capsule will be open until November 8th, when its contents will be handed over to the Smithsonian for safekeeping, until their unveiling in 2020. Explore the capsule to see what over 30,000 people have already added, and then create your own message for the future.

Thanks for taking part.
