2008-07-01:00:01:01 examines the surveillance of time with the use of time-lapse footage from an observatory that studies weather patterns found on the Internet. The piece surveys a month of cyclical transformations from sunup to sundown, simultaneously viewing 4 days at a time. The work focuses on duration and speed and our interpretation of real time. The time-lapse compresses our standard of time into quick intervals allowing us to experience a day in a matter of seconds
