Alan Rath – CLOCK 2

Alan Rath, discussing his Hess Art Collection work, Clock 2. Does it keep time like a wristwatch of is it far more technical than that? Rath often used little puns or double entendres for his work titles. In Clock 2, the work relates to his fascination with the human tendency to make and name our technological inventions in relation to our bodies, thus, clock hands. In this work, he built code for video images from photographs of his own hands.
