GOOD magazine never fails to entertain, and I love a good interactive art project. I scoured the world wide web for a digital version, but ended up scanning the project in order to spread the wealth. What is it? Read on:

You’ve just constructed a pinhole camera that will take a single picture with a 100-year-long exposure…Find a place that matters to you enough to document the next century of change. The ink will gradually fade as light streams into the camera, preserving a unique positive print of the illuminated landscape. Nothing fast-paced will be captured…but transformations over decades will register as shades of ghostly gray, and whatever remains constant will look as sharp as it would in an instantaneous snapshot.

Click the image to access the bigger size, print, and give it a go! Now I can pass down to my unborn children something more meaningful than my grad school debt!
