Experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats, famous for outrageous projects like genetically engineering deity and selling shares of his brain, this week revealed his latest thought-provoking endeavor — a millennium camera designed to take the slowest photograph in history. The museum will unveil the photograph in a month-long exhibition scheduled for Spring 3015. 
 
 ï¿½The first people to see this picture will be children who haven't yet been conceived,ï¿½ says Keats. ï¿½For instance, old houses torn down after a couple centuries will show up only faintly, as if they were ghosts haunting the skyscrapers that replace them.ï¿½ 
 
 According to ASU Art Museum Curator Garth Johnson, the millennium camera will be installed on the museum's third-level terrace, where museum visitors will be able to see both the city view and the photographic apparatus. Immediately following the museum event, Keats will lead a hands-on workshop on building deep time cameras as part of ASU's annual Emerge festival, set to take place March 6, 2015, from 3 p.m. to midnight, at the university's SkySong Innovation Center in Scottsdale. ABOUT JONATHON KEATS 
 
 Acclaimed as a "poet of ideas" by The New Yorker and a "multimedia philosopher-prophet" by The Atlantic, Jonathon Keats is an experimental philosopher, artist and writer based in the United States and Italy.
– A low-tech camera installed on a terrace in Tempe, Arizona, is busy taking a photo—that should capture one image over the next thousand years, the Arizona Republic reports. Conceptual artist Jonathon Keats says his device will actually show 10 centuries of change in a single shot: "The photograph not only shows the skyline, but also records how it develops over time," he says in an Arizona State University press release. "For instance, old houses torn down after a couple centuries will show up only faintly, as if they were ghosts haunting the skyscrapers that replace them." So why invent such a camera? Because, he says, he wants us to consider the image and reflect on how our choices will affect the environment. "You can look at the scale of time beyond the human life span," he says in another Arizona Republic piece. That can help you look "reflectively back on yourself from the context of the future, putting what you're doing today in the context of that longer term," he adds. Unlike those words, Keats' camera is simple: made from solid metal, it has a pinhole in a 24-karat-gold plate that lets light hit colored pigment, and slowly create an image with oil paint instead of film. If all goes well, the ASU Art Museum (which houses the camera) plans to display the image in 3015, Discovery reports. Keats has also helped people make simpler, tin-can cameras that capture 100-year images for future generations. Dubbed a "poet of ideas" by the New Yorker, San Francisco-based Keats has done other unusual things—like sell real estate in extra space-time dimensions, copyright his mind, and try to engineer God genetically.
