gizmodo.com — Artist Jonathon Keats is taking one long photo. His project, a pinhole camera that is taking one continuous picture of a room in the Hotel des Arts in San Francisco, is a mixture of uber-low-tech and ultra-high concept geekiness.

Well if I read things properly he isnt using film, he is using black paper that will slowly fade as the light hits it.

As if my grand children didn't already have enough to look forward to. Flying cars, robots, starships, and now this! Those lucky little bastards.

Sounds interesting, but due to the fact that for the most part a 100 year exposure is going to be an overexposed mess (I.e. a white piece of paper) it's just a bunch of new age crap. I don't care what he thinks he's symbolizing by doing it, it's not art unless you can look at the object and get something from it. I don't care how long a photo has been exposed, if it's just a blank piece of paper i'm not interested. Anyone can make crappy art but do something symbolic with it.Cool idea though if he can pull it off and actually get an image.

I think it would be much more interesting to have a camera take one snapshot per month for 100 years, then animate it into a movie. I would want to see THAT for sure.

I think this poodle really, really, really had a life changing experience when he saw "I heart the Huckabee's"

just wait till the next earthquake - then you just have a shot of the rubble on the floor as the camera falls over, if you can call this a camera - rather than a camera obscura...

no digg because of the ad phrase "you are more boring than you know.".

ok, i am PRETTY sure this guy is crazy, but I like the way he thinks....oh, wait, what does that say about me? God in a petri dish? And how many 100 year old hotels have you heard about? Que se ra se ra.
