Technical Description

An array of various second-hand analog clocks are mounted in a horizontal line across a wall. Audio and power wires descend vertically from the base of each clock, gathering in a cluster on the floor. Two black loudspeaker cabinets mounted on tall, thin black stands flank the arrangement.

A passive infrared sensor activates the clocks upon detecting movement and deactivates them after a period of inactivity. Contact microphones installed within the clock housings capture and amplify the mechanical ticking sounds, which are amplified through the loudspeakers.
