Call for Artist Ideas

San Jose Climate Clock Project

A public artwork using information and measurement technologies to gather
and display climate change data.

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 José, 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.

The Climate Clock ideas competition is the first stage in a three-stage
process that will take the first Climate Clock from vision to reality. The
sequence of the ideas competition is as follows:

•Ideas competition launched January 2008 (deadline 9 May 2008)

•Proposals displayed and reviewed during the 2nd Biennial 01SJ Global
Festival of Art on the Edge June 4-8, 2008 <01sj.org> and on the web

•Selection of six semi-finalists in May 2008 to present their proposals at
an international colloquium about art and climate change June 9-10, 2008 in
San José

•Three finalist teams selected to develop their proposals in conjunction
with a residency at the CADRE Laboratory for New

•Media at San José State University and Montalvo Art Center for an
honorarium of $50,000 each. Residencies will take place during the 2008-09
Academic Year

•Final proposal selection in July 2009, design development contract issued

•Project Design is unveiled during the 3rd Biennial 01SJ Global Festival of
Art on the Edge in June 2010

BACKGROUND

The Climate Clock Global Initiative will bring people's attention to the
issues of global climate change through public artworks that incorporate
data and demonstrate the connection between human activity and the
production of greenhouse gasses. The initiative's first manifestation will
be Climate Clock, a landmark public artwork in downtown San José that
incorporates measurement and data management technologies to help people
understand climate change and encourage them to continue reducing their
carbon footprint. The first implementation of the project will be in San
José, but the goal is to establish a global program that will encourage and
support the creation and installation of other climate clocks in communities
and cities throughout the world.

As this first iteration of Climate Clock will be realized in San José,
Silicon Valley's city center, proposals should consider the infrastructure
possibilities represented throughout the downtown including the use of
information technology infrastructure and networks. San José is the tenth
largest city in the US with a population of approximately one million.
Climate Clock will be a landmark public artwork that serves to reinforce San
José's and the region's commitment to a green economy, culture and future.

Climate Clock will stimulate and challenge the international creative
community. The project will bring together media artists, climatologists,
psychologists, physicists, statisticians, linguists, anthropologists,
programmers, network engineers, industrial designers, and many more.

As climate change is a global problem, The Climate Clock Global Initiative
hopes to engage an international team of experts and offer them the talent
and resource that are unique to Silicon Valley. Understanding climate change
is extremely data intensive. It requires the use of exceptionally sensitive
instruments, computers, and networks -- cornerstones of Silicon Valley's
economy and culture....
