June 7th. 2000 - advertisments
On Wednesday, June 7th, at 12noon, we
invite Norway to take a one-hour time-out
Walk through the park. Dip your toes in the water. Talk about something completely different. For about an hour.
This advertisement targets everyone who really has no
time to read it. All the ones who stress, fuss, and
scramble through life, and who are about to turn to
the next page of the newspaper. Make an exception.
Stop, and continue reading.
Time. One would think that new technology and increased prosperity would provide us with more time.
Unfortunately, it is not so. Instead, we run around
between obligations and oversights, with swelling
appointment books and constantly bad conscience. And imagine that things will get better soon. Tomorrow. In a few days. Next week. Next year.
Few of us want to live this way. And many of us want
to do something about it. Here is a start:
On Wednesday we invite Norway to take a one-hour time-out from 12noon to 1pm.
One hour, when we leave office desks, machines, mobile phones, piles of work, and go outside together, into the openness. To sit down and talk calmly about the life we would really prefer to live. About the dreams we carry, and why it seems so difficult to realize those dreams.
On Wednesday, large and small organizations will close for one hour. And things will happen throughout the country. Ole Paus will sing in Oslo. Silje Neergård will play at Hamar, and Jo Nesbø will appear in Molde.
And-so-on. Tomorrow's newspaper will contain a new
advertisement, detailing all the arrangements.
07-06-05 is a project for everyone who wants to reclaim their time. Time for friends, companionship, love, positive experiences, and the magic moments of
life. Both because we want to, and because our world needs it. Wednesday's time-out is our concrete commencement. You can influence the continuation.
Visit www.07-06-05.com to discover how.
07-06-05 is a countdown towards 07.06.2005. One hundred years after the liberation from Sweden, time is ripe for a new liberation. This time, not from a nation, but from a situation.
