However, his project "Industrious Clock" from 2001 is a clock that tells you the time exactly to the tick. But the particularity of this clock is that it every single figure is actually written down by a human hand with a pencil.
This piece of art drew my attention because of its simplicity. What we see is an usual clock that gives you the exact time. However, the way it does make, makes it special in a way. The fact that the audience actually sees a human hand writing restlessly down each single figure somehow emphasizes the impression how fast time passes by. As soon as one figure is written down, it has to be erased because it is not actual anymore.
