Jonathan Harris has produced a stream of creative digital works, with 2004's 10 x 10 being a personal favourite and also one that reached a wide audience.
Harris's latest work is Time Capsule, which "sets out to collect a portrait of the world - a single global image composed of thousands of individual contributions. This time capsule is defined not by the few items a curator decides to include, but by the items submitted by every human on earth who wishes to participate. We hope to reach a truly global expression of life on earth - nuanced, diverse, beautiful and ugly, thrilling and terrifying, touching and rude, serious and absurd, frank, honest, human."
When you open the Time Capsule, you see the last 100 things that have been added. They are in the form of a thread, which Harris has spun into a globe.
Harris adds: "The capsule will be open until November 8th, when its contents will be handed over to the Smithsonian for safekeeping, until their unveiling in 2020."
The work has been sponsored and hosted by Yahoo.
