Temporal Delineation Project
recording the visual passage of time
One reasonably generic wall-clock type clock is hung on a wall opposite to a bare wall. The clock should be hung at a height that is adjusted to the average sight line of the occupants in the place they are displayed and above a small shelf. A functioning camera is placed upon the shelf. It does not matter the type or make of the camera as long it records the time/date on the print, and should be set to do so. The clock and camera 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. The camera is to be used to photograph the clock in particular, but anything else it records should be printed along with images of the clock. The prints are to be mounted in a linear format on the opposite wall. The temporal delineation is to be maintained by printing the images and replacing the batteries and film (or whatever format used) in the camera until the end of the project. The camera and the clock are to be reset during the project to the daylight savings system if applicable. When the clock uses up the batteries, the project is considered over. The dead clock and the images may be displayed together as artifacts. Anyone may assume responsibility for this project by following these instructions.
