4 MILLION YEAR 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY>
EBMM (ccc) 2013 - www.eb-mm.net
Version 1.0 - Emilie Brout & Maxime Marion 2013

4MY2001:ASO was launched on March 20, 2013.

4MY2001:ASO is a video and a net-art project, which consists of the famous ellipsis of Stanley Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) slowed down so that a single, continuous viewing lasts for four millions years. This video is only composed of the two scenes that come before and after the ellipsis - the longest in the Cinema History - when a bone thrown by an Australopithecus becomes a spaceship, symbolizing millions of years of evolution. This video is played with the PHP langage in an extremely slow rythm, fading frames in each other according to the passed time since its launch.

The artists guarantee the perpetuation of the project as long as they'll live, but because the movie will only end a very long time after their death, the complete source of the project is available : you just downloaded it !
Now you just have to put it on your own website, to ensure that the project will continue to be accessible for everyone. The source code is simple, commented and W3C compliant, so it will be easier to adapt it to another language when PHP will disappear.

HOW TO :
1. If you read this, that's because you already unzipped the file and that's very well.
2. Eventually edit the Version History on this read me file and the index.php file, if you make some modifications on the files for a compliance with actual technologies. If you repack a new version be sure that the source will still be available in the future.
3. Copy the all the files (source folder, zip file, image file, favicon file and index.php file) on a new directory on your website, ideally called "4MY2001ASO".

That's it ! Thanks, and feel free to share it !
