Public Clocks by Sam Archer

August 6th, 2012 8:04 PM / Location: 37.799882,-122.4092

INSTRUCTIONS: Help the marginalized and disenfranchised recognize/participate in the common origin and shared destiny of San Francisco by re-integrating them into the temporality of San Francisco's narration. (Install Public Clocks To Aid The Cause Of Empty Homogenous Time.)

OR

Help destroy the constant principles of San Francisco's culture that attempt to hark back to a "true" San Franciscan past by encouraging the kind of subaltern ephemeral temporalities that inhabit the space between the "I have heard" and "you will hear". (Destroy Public Clocks To Aid The Cause of Performative Time)

First, I went to IKEA and bought as many cheap-ass alarm clocks as I could carry to the register in two hands (6).

Then, I went to North Beach with the clocks, some tape, some fishing line, and a date.

We installed the clocks in as many different places we could think of. This was her first time tasking, and she couldn't stop giggling. I suspect hanging alarm clocks from tree branches may be the most crazy thing she's ever done.

We'll work on that.

Clocks in odd places! Joy! And making it a date? Brilliant.
