Camera that will take 1000-year exposure to debut tomorrow

Out of all the odd ways one can get a world record, this probably isn’t the oddest of them. Still, one photographer’s plan to take the longest-ever photo exposure is unusual, and a lot can go wrong in a thousand years (invading aliens, an earthquake where the camera’s located, etc). The camera will be debuting tomorrow at the Arizona State University Art Museum, which will be home for the camera. The final image won’t be finished until the year 3,015, long after the photographer has passed on.

The effort is the brainchild of photographer Jonathon Keats, and he wants to take the longest exposure (1,000 years) of Tempe, Arizona. The camera will be mounted three floors above the ground in the museum’s sculpture garden — it will have a bird’s-eye view of the skyline, which will no doubt continue to grow over the next 1,000 years.
