The Standard Time installation is one that will stand the test of time--quite literally. Although only set up for exactly twenty-four hours, it was recorded on film, the result of which could be used as a clock in our day-to-day lives.
The brainchild of Mark Formanek, the Standard Time installation can be put onto a loop setting on your computer or a similar device to tell the time here and now, even though it was created in the past. If you don't want to set Standard Time as your screen saver or desktop image, simply purchase the DVD version for only 29.90 Euro.
