The recording of a performance in which 70 workers assemble and reassemble a 4 x 12 m wooden replica of a “digital” clock that displays the “real” time: a task that involves 1611 changes over a 24-hour period. This installation offers an ironic comment on the tension between labour, technology and temporality. What better way to waste time than by marking its passage?

Mark Formanek (1967, Pinneberg, Germany) lives and works in Berlin. His work is generally concerned with time-related phenomena. Jörn Hintzer and Jakob Hüfner (DE) are Datenstrudel. They used to develop scripts and concepts for TV series, that is, until they initiated the online broadcaster Datenstrudel with a dozen like minded artists in 2000. With it, they stream interactive web shows each month.
