The first eight hours

The 24 Hours is the Drive Awake campaign: one episode for every hour of the day, under a minute each, in four languages. The first eight are online.

They are not finished, and we say so on the page. They are drafts: the campaign starts in November 2026 and until then we keep it open. An open-air workshop, where you see the work while it is being made, with the mistakes still in it.

Hence the request. On every episode there is a form to report a mistake, a turn of phrase that sounds wrong, a translation to review. On the images there is little to correct: they are generated and declared. On the texts every report counts. We are collecting until October.

Meanwhile Monte Verità has grown by three voices: Pierre Philip in Bordeaux, Francesca Siclari at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Raffaele Ferri at the IRCCS Oasi. Seven voices online out of eight, each with its author's signed consent.

And the home page has changed: you enter through the 24 Hours, with the twenty-four hours of the day drawn as they stand - eight lit, sixteen still dark.
