Millennium Clock: How Ireland Tried to Count Down to the Future (and Sank)

In the late ’90s, Ireland set out to celebrate the new millennium with a bold idea - a six-tonne digital clock submerged in the River Liffey, counting down the seconds to the year 2000.What started as a symbol of optimism quickly turned into chaos: faulty wiring, murky water, divers on algae-scrubbing duty, and locals dubbing it “the chime in the slime.”Miranda and Kylie dive into the story of how one public artwork tried to capture the future and instead became a perfectly Irish lesson in ambition, humour and the fine line between make and break.____Got a question?
