Temporal Orientation Project

                                            one world

      

Two new, reasonably generic wall-clock type clocks are hung on a wall. Placed side by side, the clocks should not exceed nine inches in separation and should be hung at a height that is adjusted to the average sight-line of the occupants in the place they are displayed. . The clocks packaging is essentially to remain in the condition it was purchased in except for a small opening in the back to insert batteries and set. The clocks are to be set to the current “present” of the regional time zone in which they occupy. This “present” is determined by consensus, reference, or approximation. Below the clock on the left, the city, along with its global coordinates, in which the clock is displayed, should be handwritten. Below the clock on the right the name of a city on the opposite side of the world in the same longitude and latitude should be handwritten. In the case of no known city or ocean, the regional name for the land/sea mass should be written along with the coordinates. This temporal orientation is to be maintained by replacing the batteries when needed. Maintenance also includes resetting the clocks to the daylight savings system if applicable. Anyone may assume responsibility for this project by following these instructions.
