Click the link above, get a cup of tea and relax for 1/2 hour with this Radio 4 programme that my brother heard and recommended yesterday about the fast pace of life. It features Brian Eno's Clock of the Long Now as well as the interesting news that the fast pace of modern life is mainly the Puritans' fault.
It reminded me of summer 1999 when I curated a show called 'Slow Down' in Koch Und Kesslau Gallery, Berlin, with sound art, installations, paintings and live performances over a weekend. The only way to see the art was to be there all weekend and experience it in time. Blessed with hot sunny weather and a bunch of very chilled Berlin folks I think we did succeed in slowing things down somewhat.
