Long Now Foundation | On Distant Keys | Sandy Litchfield @longnow | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 32 minutes ago.
Long Now Member, professor, & artist Sandy Litchfield created the art project On Distant Keys as a transdisciplinary platform to explore climate futures and a more closely entwined world. In On Distant Keys, Litchfield asks us to imagine speculative futures in the face of climate change, using the growth of a single volcanic island in the North Atlantic as a microcosm for the many possible changes the future may hold.

For almost two decades, Long Now has produced hundreds of talks from the world’s leading long-term thinkers, and it’s all possible because of the support of our members and donors. Now, we are showcasing a curated set of short Ignite Talks created and given by the Long Now Members themselves.
With thousands of members from all around the world, from artists and writers to engineers and farmers, our community has a wide range of perspectives, stories, and experience to offer. What's an Ignite talk? It's a story format created by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis that's exactly 5 minutes long, told by a speaker who's working with 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds (ready or not).
These Ignite talks will range from geeky, fanciful, poignant, educational, with some fresh angles on long-term thinking. The talks will be streamed live on all of our Long Now channels.

Monica L. Smith: Nature Always Wins
