Twice Over

Twice Over (2008), a collaboration with Londoner Benjamin Farnsworth, attempts to build a trans-temporal, trans-spatial communication device. Consisting of a digital clock and neon sculpture, our piece measures the distance between midnight (Greenwich Mean Time) and my local midnight (New York City). The observatory in Greenwich, England has always held a fascination for me, particularly because one can visit it and spatially inhabit the origin-point of time. Twice Over attempts a similar spatio-temporal collapse in a machine that nightly makes a transatlantic journey from an open to an empty set, and from one midnight to another.
