We will produce a historical account of information technologies to identify mechanisms for preserving, producing, and organizing knowledge in the age of AI.

Playing next weekend at the Green Film Festival:

ELDERS OF TIME is a short documentary that asks a radical question: What would time look like if it were measured by a lifeform that lives for millennia?

Through the work of artist and experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats, a couple of clock makers, dendrochronologists, and The Long Now Foundation, the film follows the creation of a new standard of time based on the growth of Bristlecone Pine Trees, some of the oldest living organisms on Earth. In contrast to Coordinated Universal Time, calibrated by atomic clocks for precision and efficiency, Bristlecone Time is variable, relational, and shaped by climate, place, and survival.

Set between the high desert mountains of eastern Nevada and a clock installed at the Nevada Museum of Art, the film traces the scientific, artistic, and philosophical labor behind this intergenerational experiment. Tree cores, land art installations, and a dual clock system reveal how arboreal time drifts out of sync with human schedules, challenging assumptions about control, progress, and permanence.

As climate change accelerates the growth of trees that evolved to live slowly, Elders of Time asks what it means to build systems meant to last thousands of years and whether learning to listen to nature’s elders can reshape how we live now.

Filmmaker and subject expected to attend.

Darren Zhu @darrenzhu is a synthetic biologist and creative technologist in San Francisco

Kevin Kelly @kevin2kelly is Senior Maverick at Wired, an award-winning magazine he co-founded Wired in 1993. He is co-chair of The Long Now Foundation, a membership organization that champions long-term thinking. He is also the author of multiple best-selling books about the future of technology.

⭑.ᐟ about tiat
tiat is the intersection of art & technology! we are an experimental gallery for creative technologists to experiment, exhibit, and expand their practice. ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ tiat is 501c3 nonprofit, our EIN is: 39-3448606.

Our current exhibition is on Chinamaxxing! Earlier this year, “Chinamaxxing” emerged online as a playful embrace of contemporary China—its technology, infrastructure, food, fashion, and everyday life. But what, exactly, are you embracing—a culture, an aesthetic, a political possibility, a different version of yourself?

Across sculpture, moving image, poetry, performance, and interactive systems, Chinamaxxing follows objects, technologies, and rituals as they travel across borders. The artists explore what gets translated, imitated, misunderstood, or made intimate along the way.

The exhibition asks what we want from China, and what we might discover beyond wanting.

Who says Mondays suck? Mondays started and ended with a bang for our @djerassiprogram team. I’ll start with the end as the beginning deserves its own post. Our executive director @cadams623 spoke with brilliant mind Jonathan Keats and Oscar Villalobos of @zyzzyvamag at the @theinterval at @the.long.now.foundation, in SF’s @fortmasoncenter. Between the wildlife at @djerassiprogram and these moments of perspective of how connecting beyond our human species would only benefit the planet, my Monday furthered my values and understanding of being in this crazy world today. Grateful for all these connection along my work/art life.
