Title
Millenium Gifts and Digital Art for 2001
Description
Even before the American Bicentennial, Joanne Slater of New York City had begun thinking about the project that would one day become the historically significant Millennium Time Tapestry. Joanne wanted to find a way of commemorating 10 centuries of human endeavor in a single round tableau of archival art.
Joanne (far left in the photo) is a musical composer by education. She instinctively knew that, like separate instruments in an orchestra, individual images arranged in a harmonic way could create a truly symphonic work of visual art. She was thinking along the lines of fine découpage – some way of combining many disparate archival images, rather than producing an interpretive work by a contemporary illustrator.
It was Mimi Van Swall (second from left) who took the project to the next level, after determining the sectioned spiral format. Mimi is a practicing artist first and an educator second, but for this project, she became our art curator. She spent over two years, starting in 1997, researching authentic images that would symbolize significant people, events and intellectual advances since the year 1001.
