The Atomic Priesthood Project (APHP)02010-PRESENT A 10,000+ year proposition put forth by Dr. Thomas Sebeok (1984)* to design a cultural relay system to insulate and retain information about nuclear waste management, the legacy of atomic weapons/power, and deep time ecology.
Beginning in 02010, Sebeok’s proposal was taken on and has illustrated the symbolic order, protocols, and designs that can endure on the proposed scales of deep time.
The Atomic Priesthood Project (APHP) has included historians, glass workers, engineers, designers, textile artists, and other collaborators from around the world, has been hosted by museums and universities across the United States, and has been included as keynote presenter and contributor to many academic symposiums internationally addressing nuclear waste management.
