the WALKER CORPORATION welcomes you and thanks you for your attention
this orientation will now begin. please ensure that
the standard issue EARPHONES provided are mounted correctly and
COMFORTABLY around your head. sit back.
and RELAX.
project OZYMANDIAS this is the work of corporations most ambitious venture ever.
designed to connect the PRESENT jeff.
using our technology the space probe is. will
carry the messages.
HOPES. THOUGHTS DREAMS and prayers of our time.
into the distant future. it will PRESERVE the VOICES of
mankind.
and deliver them back to earth. in exactly 1000 YEARS.
the aim of this project. is to COLLECT.
a diverse. SET OF RECORDINGS from around the world to place
those recordings inside the specially constructed time capture.
and to place that time capsule INTO the SPACE PROBE. and is.
the space probe.
manti's will be LAUNCHED INTO ORBIT in october
2017. it will follow the COMET 46.
as it passes. planet earth. takes its 1000 hegemony
around our solar system. this. probe.
could be 10 to. 3000 and 17.
project OZYMANDIAS years as it's not what the future will bring to you but
you can bring it to the FUTURE.
gentlemen this plane will now offer a brief STATEMENT
concerning the project OZYMANDIAS and yes you can ask your
questions afterwards please. thank you. i guess i just want to
make sure.
that.
i'm remembered as the guy who MADE IT all HAPPEN.
i do believe that you know everything we've done with the company from
the beginning from BANNER ADS to social media was about
CELEBRATING this vast cacophony of human
HUMANITY.
so making sure that these messages
can make it out. into the universe INTO the FUTURE.
i'm proud to put my name on the.
i feel is me giving back. we think these grand accomplishments might
live on. FOREVER. but it might just be a couple of legs sticking
out of the sand.
that's why you know people like JEFF BEZOS he thinks he's
so smart with his rocket projects him and in moscow they're battling it
out over who can make the BIGGEST ROCKET.
you know.
in the future they're going to have better rocket it's like
GUARANTEED.
i want to be remembered as the guy who was smart enough to worry about
what goes on in the MARKET. i think the whole package deal is for humanity
sponsored by walkaround.
come CONGRATULATIONS you have been specially chosen to
participate in project OZYMANDIAS.
your MESSAGE will be one of only 10000 messages from our time.
to be placed on board the space. is.
it will be SENT ACROSS our solar system. and we tend. to be
hurt by future GENERATIONS.
enter a millennial HIBERNATION STATE keeping your message safe.
and unaffected by events on. anything. ranging from
natural disasters. makes even NUCLEAR WAR.
your message is guaranteed to reach the FUTURE.
hello.
i'm TALKING to you.
i wish that i was
someone like me like
you guys. nice. try yes.
i mean look was really just.
YEAH. so. and.
I REMEMBER asking.
it.
part.
MY NAME is your song and so i may send me a
tissue swedens if
you ask about how to FORMULATE the message yes.
the question is also WHAT MESSAGE do you want to send.
what do you want to tell these people. yes. have
you felt about. i mean if you want to send a message for people living
here but what do you want to tell them. so that's the support that i think
for how you want to tell it. what do you want
them to UNDERSTAND.
i mean if you only want to understand
that there are some people around a THOUSAND YEARS ago who wants to
COMMUNICATE to you that was an intentional communication. maybe it's more
of a SYMBOL. i mean we don't need to stand what you're saying but
maybe we need to understand that you are speaking a LANGUAGE because we know there is an intentional
act because even if you don't understand the language you will probably RECOGNIZE it
as a language event.
you know if it is INTENTIONAL. you recognize language as a
certain kind of ODDITY coffee oration.
as opposed to two different kinds of SOUNDS you can make or
LAUGHTER all things which are not necessarily intentional but
you can recognize a very good alacrity of a message that. there
probably is some kind of.
message INVOLVED. now if you want to cook something more complicated than the
fact that you are sending a message how thousand years ago when you were.
speaking your message by RECORDING the following string of PERSONAL
INFORMATION in order for the receivers to LEARN as much as possible about
you. who you were and where you CAME FROM. remember
always to begin with YOUR NAME age place of birth or
approximate PLACE OF BIRTH. if not know. your current
OCCUPATION and your current location name and LOCATION
coordinates then include the full date afterwards.
you can record your own message. monday is
connecting the PRESENT with the FUTURE.
name your husband's name. henry the same age. age
47 occupation name of your
age.
if you know why.
it is. because
i was born.
my name is canoe earthier and i am a WRITER in seattle
washington and a long TIME CAPSULE EXPERT.
i guess you'd call it with a time
capsule you're looking to prime CONSIDERATIONS.
you're looking at making sure that you have a CONTAINER that
will PROTECT the material keep it as pristine as possible for
whatever length of time you decide you want to put it ASIDE.
and then related to that. secondarily you want to MAKE SURE that
you are somehow ensuring that the time capsule will be RECOVERABLE.
you want to make sure that you DO whatever they're SUPPOSED to do with
the time capsule.
as a messenger. project goals in mind. you might choose to record a
prepared testimony or.
you may choose ANY SUBJECT and any form you prefer.
this includes IMPROVISED and spontaneous messages. you may
be prepared tex. you may be passing on messages you may
simply record your WISHES hopes DREAMS prayers
or any other expression that you deem fit to be placed on board
project OZYMANDIAS and yes.
the messages must be recorded in ENGLISH and they must not exceed a
generation of 120 SECONDS. the final
recording you make will not be edited or altered in any way
before being placed on your project in is and deliver it to the
FUTURE. david.

in his analysis of aesthetic judgment IMMANUEL KANT says that human beings
LONG for GREATNESS because in greatness we are reminded of our humanity.
for this reason in the COMPARISON between politicians and warriors
warriors who are brave and stand up against IMPOSSIBLE ODDS will always prevail.
generals will always be POLITICIANS in the mind of.
it is my hope. i have an issue with PINK. i just hate
when i look at pink. i get UPSET. colors have a very
specific MEANING for us humans. and there are some specific
RULES. sometimes even.
there's fashion colors when i'm trying to say is that those colors. i don't
think there's anything to tell you actually you will find USEFUL
since at least there are very FEW THINGS that you find useful.
but i think it's funny if you guys would consume a bit of our CULTURE
such as you are for WHITNEY HOUSTON and enjoy it in the same
way that we did which they were both SINGERS by very.
danish dealer. i think it's american but they were excellent at this. you should LISTEN so that we don't
DESTROY ourselves. in our thirst for greatness.
place for RECORDING. 55 degrees north 42
minutes 9 seconds 12 degrees
minutes 26 seconds.
there are two possibilities. some of the people telling us that race won't
be any of at all at time because we have all been DIED because
of this problem with the living room NATURE
and evette case i don't know whom we are being called to
COMMUNICATE.
i think 1000 years too short for some other kind of being to do
the above two to prove we would be communicating.
so in that case i think there is NO
SECOND possibility is that we still our around human beings homo
sapiens.
and then i will say i think it is very different because i think fundamentally
we have a REAL PROBLEM of complication because.
if you keep a THOUSAND YEARS AGO if you look at those
languages which are SPOKEN at the time they are different but NOT so very different.
so in thousand years i don't expect them to be very DIFFERENT either.
you could even say that what has happened to most of his life. so then there have been
SIMPLIFIED. so it's not clear that there can't be much more simplified.
so i don't think there would be any big problem complicating
all LANGUAGES.
ok maybe you should pick a language like DANISH or SWEDISH because we are so few
people maybe we WON'T BE AROUND anymore for the time being it may look
at fistric use ENGLISH or even better CHINESE because those are
probably the most the most kind of the kind of people i wish the MOST AROUND
thousand years.
this is an ORIENTATION GUIDE for messengers enroll in project and
yes.
it contains a BRIEF and easy to apply method for creating
COLLECTING and CATALOGUING audio recordings from a representative.
SAMPLE of HUMANITY.
these recordings will be DELIVERED to future generations in
exactly one thousand years from NOW. awesome.
man he is. bringing the VOICE of humanity into the future.
hi out there i a thousand views. i hope you are not ALONE.
and i think the most important thing is life in LIFE
is to have OTHER PEOPLE around you to be with other people
and that is something that i think is ESSENTIAL to find the life
so it seems to me.
DEAR PERSON who's alive a thousand years from now. i myself.
knew very little about how it was to live a thousand years ago.
so i can only imagine how far away my life seemed to
i think life without years ago was far more PHYSICALLY demanding to my
visits to the future.
SHIT i must be the last generation was not living FOREVER. you are in that
happy position right now and it must be so fantastic to have all that
time in front of you. i wonder whether you have gotten more EXPERIENCED.
due to having. we're in this PATTERN of.
developing. new TECHNOLOGIES for. more
convenient CONSUMPTION and they just.
tightening BARRIERS for comfort. so it's
really i'm i'm just CONCERNED that if we don't get beyond that then
just stop. it.
jesus has a future because we hope to love. every part. of.
a. separate. life. i'm not sure it's PEACE with
GOD. but if we're going to be human beings of the future.
i'm talking to you from 1000 years ago. to bring you a
MESSAGE.
i hope that this is an absolutely IRRELEVANT message because you
have to keep TRACK.
in general i have a personal interest in SHARKS. sharks been
around for ages for thousands and thousands of years and i'm pretty sure shakspere's still be
around in a thousand years. what WE KNOW today is that we we
study sharks all the time. obviously they are in WATER which makes it complicated
in our time.
fink's we see obvious to us things we don't even speak to TAKE them for GRANTED
when we say something we say that the SUN GOES UP
of that's it doesn't exist.
that is how it works in our perception.
the funny thing is i think time capsule starts to get more interesting when you're talking
about 500 to 1000 5000
year time span or even an INFINITE time span.
history tells us that things have gone UPS AND DOWNS.
so but i think you know some people want to PRESERVE this material
because they think science as we know it is about to be DESTROYED that they want to leave a record.
and REKINDLE SOCIETY.
and others i think want to share with them so that people in the
future can learn less.
my future. my name is FREDERICK. i'm sitting at the top of an
apple tree. in little square garden of my CHILDHOOD home where i'm currently
living.
iT'S NICE to see up here there's plenty of space as i just pruned all the
other branches so that we can grow more APPLES and it doesn't grow.
WILD. which i guess we don't want to miss.
god. made me wonder whether. you will still be
pruning trees to get more apples and you get this message. i'm not sure it's a good
idea but it's definitely part of my habit. i do it every year and i really ENJOY
those apples. i hope you're still enjoying apples.
i'm sitting in 2017 so and i'm thinking back to the 1800s
where the WHITE MAN came to the americans or other places in.
north. AMERICA. the era that we today called DAKOTA.
had is saying. that language there was tuckwell we assume.
and in english there will be something like. all.
of. my RELATIONS all of our relations.
they viewed life as a WEAPON. of interconnected and.
INTERCONNECTEDNESS. and that view of life. is.
a dramatically. DIFFERENT.
i know YOU. were listening to this. this.
LIVING. a thousand years later.
than me. therefore you might think that. EVERYTHING.
is DIFFERENT. but.
that is NOT THE CASE. the most important elements in the human
life. is CONSTANT.
important and decisive FACT. of a human life is that.
it comes to an END. we're all going to DIE. another
fact is that we are a MIXTURE. of GOOD. and BAD.
we can HURT each other. immensely. but we can also
have IDEALS. AMBITIONS. VISIONS.
and. our. lives.
FIGHT a conflict between the two.
if you're going to send a message through it must be at least some
something in COMMON between the life word of the center or the life of
the RECEIVER and both are human beings then we
NECESSARILY have something in common because we are biologically
CONSTITUTED in the same way and we maybe even
CULTURALLY have gone through the same evolution. so.
that is something already. but even more it would be GOOD if we had
a similar SOCIAL CULTURAL life word which would mean that
we live in similar societies. so the whole point is that
there's a lot of FAITH we had to take to courante to halt and stand a message that's
works normally because of the COMPLEXITY of human beings
even when we try to communicate from APES it's much more difficult.
so communicating with.
BEINGS somewhere and have a plan planets we don't know and how we are
constituted. i'd be a logical culturally it's really a
men's PROBLEM. but. i don't think we have the same problem.
if people felt as though even in the 5000 years at least if
it continued with the.
GOOD LUCK it.
cooperation and project goals in mind.
kindly ask that you consider carefully how. why. and
what. you choose to record.
will be UNDERSTOOD in the very distant future. remember
you will be humanity's. AMBASSADOR. to the. please
bear in mind. that current culture. and language will possibly in
fact quite likely be UNRECOGNIZABLE to the people of.
the. south. it is highly likely that current
joe graphy and CLIMATE will also have changed by that time.
what we do know. is that the world in a thousand years will be a very DIFFERENT
place than it is today. this may. not affect.
what you choose to could. all DECISIONS about the content of your message
are entirely YOUR OWN.

so the SPIRIT gains in days gone by and the kings who ruled them had courage
and greatness.
we have heard of those princes heroic campaigns. that's the beginning of the POEM BEOWULF.
that was written down approximately a thousand years ago today.
and then after it was written down 800 years passed in which people DIDN'T READ it.
and then. in the beginning of the 19th century they STARTED reading it but they were
all historians looking for historical FACTS using it as a way to find out
who was the KING and that in that time and so and so when people tried
to look at it as a poem as a WORK OF ART. they came to the conclusion
that it couldn't be art because there were too many MONSTERS versus grendal.
and then this grendel's mother and then finally this is the DRAGON that kills me and
you. and you can have. it with everything. do you have. this. woman's.
ears. do you have EYES.
can you SMELL the core of CINNAMON spark. see the gold drip
from the oyster's mouth feel the STORM against skin. the
shiver of a killer. hear the swifts NAVIGATE in their own
screams.
then liz.
he made himself a glass of VIOLIN. so he could see what music looks like.
he dragged his foot to the MOUNTAIN'S pekan waited for the sea to reach his.

tears.
he plans to excavate a city in a part of chives. he WALKED with the globe cheikh to
his. variously HAPPY as two times too soon.
when they said he didn't EXIST. he couldn't. so he had to be
born. he's already out there LIVING somewhere. blinks his little
eyes rose just in TIME. in the very nick
of time. our most gracious LADY our sweet and
wise lady MACHINE.
like this for her fit good news in this place.
this was the PAST you dreamed of creating your longed for it.
we TEAR each other apart and present each other kill each other
because of it. we CANNOT. for.
give us.
our study.
we invited anybody who wanted to send a message featured and. and
they sort of fell into two CATEGORIES or three categories like them.
one is i'm going to tell you about my LIFE. and they were like many
BIOGRAPHIES. people would tell you where they went to school who they married with
degrees they had what they did with their careers. others wrote
letters of APOLOGY.
i'm really sorry we screwed up the planet. GLOBAL WARMING it probably sucks. and
hey. there was you know we POLLUTED things we destroyed the wilderness.
there were a lot of us like.
please FORGIVE me didn't leave you a perfect world.
were FLAWED.
and then others were were IMAGINATIVE and they imagined these bright
futures with which you know with all kinds of elements that reflected
kind of what they would like to know. i hope you have FLYING CARS.
you know i hope you figured out how to achieve WORLD PEACE.
just as a misfit's from the past to the future.
the one one thing take interest in HISTORY so you
don't make these mistakes.
of doing things without KNOWLEDGE of the past.
it's CRAZY. know. what's in
my. head what happened. before.
it's. right now in our world. i think.
the bottom line systems are DESIGNED to
prioritize. RESOURCE ACCUMULATION to very very few
people. and what that means. so my son is about spilled chocolate milk on our car.
i hope you know what chocolate milk. but what that means is that.
we're where we're this. the.
first of all i'd like. to. talk to. the WORLD. as it. currently is right now.
it's. a DIFFICULT time right now.
what i've learned through that is that. NO MATTER what happens in the future if in the future
maybe a thousand years from now whenever wherever you are whenever you want. i
hope that you take this LESSON that i've learned through my life. is that. no
matter what happens you have a RESPONSIBILITY to act.
nobody else is going to do it for you. you have a responsibility to do it yourself.
even if you just LISTEN. what a lovely thing
to do when the books came flying with branches and tweaks.
they built NESTS for their eggs to hatch like when the witch built her pancake
house. yesterday we ATE her meals behind the BULLET PROOF window.
we knew it was because my PROBLEM is that i do not believe
there will be any people in 1000 years. it was. so i have.
a hard time to give you a message.
all i see is this TAPE RECORDER standing in a grass field.
surrounded by BUTTERFLIES and other insects.
and my VOICE.
speaking up into the SKY and
NOBODY to listen. so i like to take that
chance to say SORRY to the class.
i told him that being there will not be able to listen to this message
that rukhs have finished their nests.
and for my OWN SAKE i need to say so from my previous years
participating in this great show discipline without great success.
so they never built she
could like it.
which is. does LOVE still exist.
how do you guys FIGHT each other.
what kind of WEAPONS. what came in.
have you ever heard of.
it's an ipod an. busuk
can MUSIC take another phone.
we CANNOT KNOW what the future will bring but we can make sure that we bring
something to the FUTURE.
the walker corporation project manager is leading a team of SCIENTISTS
have calculated the exact trajectory of COMET 46P.
and slipstream the space probe menges will flow
silently through SPACE and TIME.
when you talk about shooting something in the space you have a whole other set of CHALLENGES.
think about space is actually a very HOSTILE environment. not if you want to preserve
something burying it or shooting it into space is NOT a GREAT IDEA
unless you really have the TECHNOLOGY you know in space that can be subject
to space PARTICLES and other kinds of damage.
theres no way to protect it in orbit is going to FALL OUT of orbit.
when is it going to come down. HOW LONG is it going to stay up when when and where is it going to
come down.
and when it come down can you RECOVER it and will it be.
recoverable. or does it just BURN UP like space junk.

RECORD your message NOW.
dictatorial poem.
all the people who can be on the promenade ALL THE PEOPLE who have
forgotten where they came from. all the people who dropped their KEYS
all the people who can't join the CLUB. all the people who can't be at
the tip of my PIN all the people who don't know the scorpions
TACTICS or the people who pass each other by
all the people who are in TIME but don't make it there. all the people who
don't EXPERIENCE tomorrow all the people will stay even though the
TRAIN is waiting. all the people can't be where they are.
my message to the future world will be that the concept CRITIQUE
was our critique. we are.
not well simply saying
that american PHILOSOPHERS i somehow
feel that it has more to do with what has happened in HONOR of
memory type when if we have some catastrophe and not
only a lot of people die but the cities are destroyed and pretty
soon DESTROYED then of course it may be difficult but
probably if that happens i think that are no people left either.
so it's.
a good QUESTION but i don't know if we have an answer to that.
how do we know if we survive a thousand years.
HELLO people of the year 3000 and 17. so why do have you invented
hummable yet. and do you UNDERSTAND anything i'm saying. i just
really like to be RELATABLE to you guys because i'm sure we have a lot in common. but whatever i'll say
it can only come off extremely ARCHAIC and weird. it's like talking to
TEENAGERS. and the whole thing is also a bit like putting a message in a bottle
just with SPACE instead of water.
and we know such messages are really just written for the SENDER to come to terms with something.
thousand years. maybe it depends more how we receive of them. on the second.
STOP all that WAR SHIT. about you know shooting each other
BOMBING each other. who is right who is wrong. you want to get to we want revenge.
no just. CUT IT OUT. live your life. we only have this one life.
so. am just a little short. HELLO. these things for
me have a LOVELY DAY. so i.
when i BECAME a MAN i gave up trying to sleep. for now we
see in a mirror dimly then so
dear.
occupants of earth.
begun my time. some of us got it. that is the
message i want to convey to you that some of us UNDERSTOOD.
that we were at a THRESHOLD where our actions as
a global CIVILIZATION determined quite a lot about our future.
and the PLANET'S FUTURE because never before had and humankind had such an
IMPACT on the planet and on our fellow humans.
we stood at i guess a FORK in the road where cooperation and
understanding could bring us CLOSER together and bring the planet to a condition that
could SUPPORT us. and support us in our future. or we could let
GREED and mistrust TAKE OVER and fight for territory and capital so that only
some of us will come to me a of in the past.
i'm talking to you LIVE from the comfort of my home in copenhagen. i've been given
the prestigious OPPORTUNITY to apologize for our period of time to you the children
of our future. i APOLOGIZE for the horrible climate human error. if
anything at all i apologize for the millions of pages describing the WARS of our
time. some of them sounded it cheney but none of them had a HAPPY ENDING. i
apologize for all the ANGER and bitterness of the comments section on the internet.
who knew that somebody somewhere was having a BAD DAY every day. i
apologize for the fact that there are no more COOL ANIMALS than. we ate some of them but
most of them we just FORGOT about. i'm not sorry for the great music though nor am
i sorry for the BOOKS and MOVIES of all means so far. not all good

when you book. THERAPIST don't you feel that
i'm wearing a HAT.
my LAPTOP and i have the same color. great. i can see the sleeves of my shirt and
they are GREAT too. i can see two white coffee cups and both of them are empty next to them.
my CELL PHONE is laying with a display against the table you know just before i began writing this.
my girlfriend wrote me a TEXT MESSAGE. she invited me to come by her office and eat lunch with her. i
replied that it was a great idea but that i was TOO BUSY since i had to write a message to the future. i
then put my cell phone on FLIGHT MODE which i always do when i work. but just as i began
describing the item surrounding me i started wondering if my reply had been TOO SHORT and too repellent.
and since flight mode was activated i couldn't received a RESPONSE from my girlfriend either confirming of
ejecting my anxiety. i have now described some items and a feeling i can describe the
ITEMS for you. i can describe the feeling for you but i can't describe how it felt describing the room feeling
what i felt when i looked at the white empty COFFEE CUPS.
i thought the coffee cups white now the future's MYSTERIOUS and.
i love that element of it. i LOVE that element.
i suppose it's a way that we can SHARE the future with people in it that we're thinking about
were.
part of us wants to be part of it because we know we're MORTAL.
we're. launching a thing in a mystery.
we call your message and let jesus CARRY it to the
future. we offer you a. cup of tea. to. SPEAK.
directly. to your. distant. DESCENDANTS.
you may not live FOREVER. but with the walk of cooperation and watching.
mind man. you can ensure that your message will.
BE A PART of the future. be a part. of. the.
game. nail. down a servant
may not want to see a child with a
SIBLING actually doing this but i just wonder and i
hope you can tell because i'll have some. of. these.
CHALLENGES. that's. that is true. or possibly.
just like is a really NICE THING right. that's true.
i find it HARD to TREAT.
i'll speak about the future. next time i'd love to see you i just want to say to the
future that YOU SHOULDN'T get too
COMFORTABLE
