Short-sightedness may be the greatest threat to humanity, says conceptual artist Katie Paterson, whose work engages with deep time — an idea that describes the history of the Earth over a time span of millions of years. In this lively talk, she takes us through her art — a telephone line connected to a melting glacier, maps of dying stars – and presents her latest project: the Future Library, a forested room holding unread manuscripts from famous authors, not to be published or read until the year 2114.

We
have a RESPONSIBILITY to join together on behalf of the world that we seek
— a world where extremists no longer threaten our people🌍!.
When long as we are denied our security by criminals,
who prey on our communities 🌍,
and who do violence against our ♀️# women and children.

TODAY: 🇺🇳
United Nations | الأمـــــمُ المتّـحــــدَة
has a dual RESPONSIBILITY:
That experience guides my conviction that partnership between 🇺🇳
United Nations | الأمـــــمُ المتّـحــــدَة
and Islam must be based on what Islam is,
not what it isn’t√.
Thank you.
And May God’s peace be upon you | TED!.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Even from an artistic perspective, stripping out trees from their aesthetic differences to create a uniform looking structure just to be able to say “This is made from all the trees in the world”… So pedantic it’s insane.

You explain deep time in one sentence. Unfortunately you didn’t elaborate on the concept. Instead, you just promote your own art work.

We are a virus at best.
Its 2022. I respect the idea.
But I didnt see any action towards resolve.. just soft words.
32,000 kids starve everyday. And you built that.. and that in itself cost life.
Dont worry maybe another song will innovate us. Maybe another ted talk will innovate us. Sadly that’s all we will wait for.. just more entertainment.
The actions of preservation are at hand.
But we consume….
And you do daily….
Make a vid when you made a difference..

Holly crap what a dam waste of money….she set up a line so you can call a glacier????
She cut up trees to save. Trees??
You need to accept we will be no more at one point… once the sun goes its gone….try saving today…..today…
Make your art saving starving children.
History doesn’t repeat…
Savagery just advances….

Ted talk, or highly edited video? Killing trees for a library that’s not available for anyone to read until the year 2114? Why would you hold hostage any knowledge from humanity that it might need right now? Why are endangered trees cut down to make that art peice?
