If you congratulate yourself on patience , you ’re going to have it off this Modern art project in Helsinki . Its creators , Finnish artist Juha van Ingen and developer Janne Särkelä , made an animate GIF that take 1,000 years to encounter . It ’s call “ As Long as potential . ”
That ’s the last of the GIF ’s 48,140,288 skeletal frame above . The creative person design to come to play in 2017 , inspired by a technique used in composer John Cage ’s never - ending score , “ As Long as Possible . ” With no denominate pacing , Cage ’s composition is currently being play in a German church , where it will continue to dally for another 625 year . The Finish creative person behind the new GIF undertaking will get down with the numeric “ 1 ” and slowly count up with each frame point for about 10 minutes .
So a 1,000 - year GIF is not exactly as engrossing as the little morsels of culture that float around the internet every sidereal day , but that seems like the point . In a nod to the style of Nipponese artist On Kawara , van Ingen and Särkelä are counting the slow Mar of time with white numbers on a bootleg background , reminding us that time ca n’t stop . However , you do have to marvel what happens if the power goes out at the nontextual matter drift …
