Hamilton highlights that the placement of the prime meridian is fundamentally arbitrary, pointing out that despite claims of neutrality, it stands in a historically imperial location.
The idea of moving the prime meridian is not just symbolic; it serves as a philosophical shift away from the conventional notions of nationhood and borders.
Boynton and Andrews' operatic performance serves as a medium to translate this proposal into an artistic form, reinforcing the notion of music as a space for dialogue.
Hamilton notes the logistical challenges of marking this new meridian in the ocean, underlining that "the ocean is the monument," thus redefining how we think about commemorating such concepts.
