“The work is a serpentine stone split apart, revealing its hidden message for the first time in 600 million years from now revealing protest slogans, political statements, media headlines and memes from around the world from throughout the year 2020. As time goes by, 2020 and everything we have experienced and witnessed throughout the year, will become just another year of human history. Remembered for a short time, debated and studied for a little bit longer, recorded in the archives for a while after this, and then, very gradually, it will be all but forgotten. Perhaps one day in approximately 600 million year’s time some record of this year may be rediscovered and quizzically examined by someone or something, perhaps they will decide this discovery to be important and will similarly display their findings to a how a museum or an encyclopaedia displays a fossil or stone age memorial today.”
