On New Year’s Day something awesome is going to happen.   All the members of Gen Z Global Stage are going to participate in our most ambitious project to date.  On that day, the young artists living in India, Chile, Croatia, The Philippines, and locally in Palm Beach County, will take a photo of themselves at the exact same moment in time, creating a global snapshot.  Those photos will be compiled into a video montage that will be presented as part of our multi-media presentation on April 26th. 

The date itself was the source of inspiration for this project.   You will notice that 01-01-10 contains all ones and zeros.  I was trying to think of a way to link this unusual numerical occurrence with Gen Z’s  theme of global digital communication.  Since all the participants are interacting with each other and contributing projects using digital technology (all ones and zeros), what better way to involve everyone in a singular, global event?

I know, cool right?

Obviously we all live in different time zones, and a time had to be chosen when the participants would all be awake.  So after consulting a time zone map (online, of course) we found it.  So if all goes as planned, all the members of Gen Z will be taking a photo of themselves at the same exact moment on planet Earth.
