San Jose Climate Clock
The Climate Clock Global Initiative is seeking ideas from artist-led teams
to create a major artwork entitled Climate Clock, which will measure
changes in greenhouse gas levels, and be the first in a series of global
projects calling attention to climate change. Climate Clock will be an
instrument of long-term measurement and will collect data for 100 years.
The artwork will be located in downtown San Jose, California, Silicon
Valley's city center, and will be a collaboration between an artist-led
team composed of artists, international and Silicon Valley engineers and
other creative professionals who are working with climate measurement and
data visualization. It is anticipated that the budget for the construction
of Climate Clock will be between $5 and $15 million, depending upon the
scope of the final proposal.
Deadline: May 9, 2008
