A Countdown in Wood

Standard Time

Don't miss it: Until midnight you can still see, how time is built in the project “Standard Time” at the Donaulände.

Wooden boards make up this 4x12-meter read-out that a sizeable crew of construction workers will be manually rearranging minute by minute—a total of 1,611 times. “Standard Time” is German artist Mark Formanek’s project; it’s being carried out by Datenstrudel, a Berlin artists group. Beginning at 3 PM, you can watch them at work counting down the minutes to midnight in their uniquely analog way.
