AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Climate Clock Global Initiative Call for Ideas

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.
