At the same time I realize the reason I was able to see it is because hundreds to a couple of thousand generations didn't see it, and didn't know it existed. Seeing a cave wall with handprints tens of thousands of years old, I was brought to tears by the thought "we existed". I have mixed feelings about opening time capsules. The worse people are thieves, and vandals. The instant people realize a time capsule is there, and they are not suppose to open it, they gain an overwhelming obsession to open it. I have books, and newspapers older than most of them. The majority of time capsules that I know about have been set within ten years of my birth, and opened in my lifetime. The worse enemies to time capsules are bad engineers, and the curious. Ice cream brand Ol, known as Wall's in the UK, commissioned a children's social game for its web portal called Planeta Ol, which Battlesheep worked on through 2009. That's what art does, it makes us feel more human. However, the first commission Battlesheep landed required significantly more time and effort than they had planned. They are both buried 50 feet in the ground, ten feet apart, and were intended to stay buried for 5,000 years, as mentioned by a monument marking their location at Flushing-Meadows Park in Queens.Īnd if the people watching this think the contents in these conditions are bad, it gets worse! It was announced in the 2021 that the temple was getting rid of interior murals from the 1900s as part of a reconfiguration! Maybe you may not see it as a loss if you're not Mormon (which I'm not of course), but from just an artistic perspective, it's most definitely a loss because at the end of the day, it's hand-drawn beauty going away. Each was formulated to resist corrosion over time, rather than being allowed to waste away to dust. These time capsules are specially designed non-corrosive metal tubes, made with electrical properties in mind that enhanced the characteristics of each tube's unique metal chemical make-up. Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company made two time capsules, one for the 1939 NY World's Fair and another for when the World's Fair returned to NY in 1964-1965. The Westinghouse Time Capsules in NYC were better prepared.
