Imagine you got through everybody’s list, until everything you hadn’t read didn’t really need reading. That would imply that all the cultural value the world has managed to produce since a glob of primordial ooze first picked up a violin is so tiny and insignificant that a single human being can gobble all of it in one lifetime. That would make us failures, I think.

About:

90 Years is a webzine devoted to glimmering art, design, ideas and people.

Look, the way things are going, we might live for 90 years. Or more.

It's a lot of time to fill, and the opiates we used to rely on are wavering.

Time to try something new. We at 90 Years are packing ourselves full of all that glimmers, to heighten our experience instead of dulling ourselves to it.

Follow along as we explore the reaches of existence, deep caves of sunkissed seas.

Submit what means something to you, ask about anything, and share, to spread the glimmering.

"Art, like the universe itself ... has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." C.S. Lewis
