THE MILLENNIUM SPHERE
PROJECT is an ambitious undertaking, mirroring in design,
location and symbol the workings of human history and the
human mind. It also partakes in that portion of human experience
beyond mere language and material. Conceived and existant
as a totem of human endeavor, The Millennium Sphere
and its associated rite reach outward and upward, embracing
the eternal spirit of humanity while marking in its own unassuming
fashion the passing of a mere tick in the long history of
the world: the arbitrary turn of a calendar leaf.
The Millennium Sphere
will serve as a repository for a portrait of how this race
sees itself at the end of the twentieth century of the Christian
era. It is of course beyond the scope of this project to dictate
the contents of this repository. We have endeavored therefore
to craft and propose a fitting silhouette of humanity's ambitions
and achievements on the eve of the third millenium, and trust
to the future that we will not have drawn ourselves too much
in error.
