Long-term art projects LTAP

Stewards of long-term art projects started collaborating in 2022 in an effort to ensure not only the continuation of their projects but to let them help to secure the continuation of civilisation itself and foster the reduction of existential and catastrophic risks.

These include so far

• Letters of Utrecht, The Netherlands
• ‘Future Library’, Oslo, Norway
• Longplayer, London, UK
• ORGAN2/ASLSP (as slow as possible), Halberstadt, Germany
• 7000 Eichen (7000 oaks), Kassel, Germany

Criteria:

• Art work incorporating an explicit duty to be continued
• Set up to be performed, developed, built or actively maintained for 100+ years
• Requiring continued involvement of successive generations of human stewards
• Open and accessible, not for profit, for public benefit, preferably engaging members of the public in some way
• Well established (running for 5+ years)
