I’m agreeing with Alain that Standard Time was the best project at the Transmediale 08. While the installation itself was very impressing you really get a feeling about the project when you browse the website. D’ont miss the Visions and get some Impressions.

“70 workers are building a wooden 4 x 12 m “digital” time display in real time: a work that involves 1611 changes within 24 hour period.

The spectator looking at Standard Time does not only see the time, but also people constructing it. People who, with a stoic sense of duty, are wasting time on an apparently useless activity that fulfills only one function: to display time.”

A project by Mark Formanek and the awesome guys from Datenstrudel!
