  Longplayer Assembly

24 leading thinkers converge in a non-stop 12-hour conversation relay, 
live online on Saturday 26 September, 10:00 – 22:00 BST.

The Longplayer Assembly marks the twentieth anniversary of Jem Finer’s 
Longplayer <https://www.artangel.org.uk/project/longplayer/> – a 
continuous piece of music commissioned by Artangel that began playing at 
the turn of the millennium, with a duration of 1000 years. Embracing the 
essence of Longplayer as a contemplation of time, the Longplayer 
Assembly echoes this continuity through its convergence of 24 
participants, from around the world, whose individual specialist work 
embodies long term thought. Each speaker will converse in turn, passing 
the virtual baton every 30 minutes in a non-stop 12-hour live relay.

    There is no formula for the conversations beyond the stipulations
    that they should last exactly 30 minutes, and should address
    themselves to a series of central questions: “What kind of future do
    you want and how could it be realised within your field of
    expertise?”, “What stories can you tell that point to the kind of
    future we could be heading towards?” and “Might collaboration
    between disciplines help to imagine positive long-term change?” –
    Claire Armitstead, the Guardian, 22 September 2020
