- From the page: "If a web site takes longer than a few seconds to load in the browser, we move on to another site." I wouldn't wait for a book page if it said loading every time I flipped it over. This site says (more or less) life is finite and people rush to much, so we should sit around doing nothing. Thanks for the fantastic advice. While you sit there dying I will be furiously browsing the web.

- "This experimental typography project by Art Centre College of Design
student, Jiyeon Song explores the concept of Slow
Media.
She writes:
"Today, people cannotpause even for a few minutes.
If a web site takes longer than a few seconds to load in the browser,
we move on to another site.
Designers and engineers, and scientists put a lot of effort
in making things faster.
However, our life is finite.
Nature has its own speed.
Humans cannot control it:
we live underneath its providence.
Slowness has its own value.
In One Day Poem Pavilion, messages flow slowly because it follows
the movement of the sun.
These slow messages offer audiences time to meditate.
We cannot force it to go fast.
We should wait.
We live under the laws of nature.
Slowness affords us time to rethink about our lives
which are finite and valuable.
While the poem is revealed slowly,
the meaning will resonate with the audience."

- Hey this is cool, at different times of the year there is a different message due to the angles of light: I found this on anniemal's page

- Third or so time I have seen this on other various websites.

- From the site: "A complex array of perforations within the pavilion's surface allow light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which-during specific times of the year-transform into the legible text of a poem"
