Clock: Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, 2010
custom software with Shawn Lawson, computer, video display
one year cycle
Edition 1 of 6

A meditation on temporality, the computational video work “Clock: Jerusalem to Tel Aviv” uses
footage shot from the window of a taxi van and synchronizes the clips to an annual clock.

Structured to reflect current time, the night landscape along Highway 1 changes subtly –
keeping the viewer continuously on the road somewhere between the two cities. Likened to the
idea of time travel, the work poses a theoretical beginning in the ancient city, and an ending
point in one that is modernized.

Calling the half, three-quarter and full hours, time in this looping computational video is marked by
audio recordings of church bells, dogs and crows.
