This conceptual video poem takes the idea of scheduled presentation to a mind-boggling scale. It consists of 19 lines from the @georgelazenby Twitter feed presented in 5-second loops times its factorial factorial, so upon launching, the first line will play right away (5x0), the second will play after 5 seconds (5x1), the third after 10 seconds (5x2), the fourth after 30 seconds (5x6), the fifth after 2 minutes (5x24), the sixth after 10 minutes (5x120), the seventh after 1 hour (5x720), the eighth after 7 hours (5x5040), the eighth after 2 days and 8 hours (5x40320), the ninth after 21 days (5x362880), and… you get the idea. It not only becomes impractical but humanly impossible, since the time scale continues to grow line by line until it is longer than the age of the universe. Can you keep the computer running continuously for more than the 6 years it takes to reach line 11? How about the 75 years after that to reach line 12?
