This first assignment was inspired by contemporary works of art such as \u201cThe Clock\u201d (2011) by Christian Marclay, and \u201cReal Time: Sweepers Clock\u201d (2009) by Maarten Baas. Each of the aforementioned works are 24-hour-long single channel videos that depict the passage of time. Marclay edited together thousands of clips from cinema and television history, creating a montage that is also a functioning timepiece. Baas filmed performers sweeping trash into lines that, from above, move and function like the hands of a clock.<\/p>\n<p>For this assignment, each student was asked to film themselves \u201cperforming the time\u201d for one hour. Each of their hour-long 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 \u201cYouTube clock,\u201d which can be viewed on the website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/maketimetaketime.com\/\">maketimetaketime.com<\/a>. Philadelphia-based artist Ryan Hinkel has designed the website so that it synchronizes the videos with the local time on a visitor\u2019s computer. The site is ultimately a functioning clock, literally \u201cplaying the time\u201d from the moment you arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/maketimetaketime.com\/\">maketimetaketime.com<\/a>\u00a0to see the project in action on your personal computer.<\/p>\n<p>To view each video individually, visit our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/user\/artandtime\/\">\u201cArtandTime\u201d Channel on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Art &amp; Time is a multimedia Visual Arts course that introduces students to conceptual and time-based art practices, and to techniques in video art, performance art, and kinetic sculpture.
