All the time.

This is something silly I made today... it's a clock with 12 hour hands. So it's always all the time.

I am on fire.

Make Time, Take Time

This semester I am teaching a class called Art & Time at Bowdoin College. My first assignment was inspired by “The Clock” (2011) by Christian Marclay, and “Real Time: Sweepers Clock” (2009) by Maarten Baas. Each student was asked to film themselves “performing the time” for one hour. Each of their videos functions as a clock, accurately depicting the passing minutes in either analog or digital form. The video documentation of their performances have been sequenced to create a 24-hour-long “YouTube clock,” which can be viewed on the website maketimetaketime.com. Philadelphia-based artist Ryan Hinkel has designed the website so that it synchronizes the videos with the local time on a visitor’s computer. The site is ultimately a functioning clock, literally “playing the time” from the moment you arrive.

Please visit the site to see the project in action on your personal computer. To view each video individually, visit our “ArtandTime” Channel on YouTube.

(The video above is one that I made with Mike Fleming for 3:00-4:00 AM, sped up to be one minute long).

A work in progress...

Imagine this indecipherable string of numbers/letters in white neon, wrapping around the walls of a gallery. When some of the neon turns off, a decipherable statement is revealed...
Click on the images to view them larger, and advance back and forth between them to see what it says.

Mike Fleming and I will be erecting and photographing this sign in different landscapes around the country this summer. 

You are (on) an island, 2012

Mike Fleming and I recently reinstalled this sculpture with a new wood base. We're hoping to show it in New York this summer, and in Sydney this fall. Keep your fingers crossed!
