WINDTIME

by TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO

“Betrachten Sie einmal ein ganz populäres Diagramm, eine Wetterkarte. Die Linie, die ich mit meinem Finger nachziehe, zeigt die Bewegung des Barometers. [...] Das Quecksilber hat doch offenbar die Linie in keiner der landläufigen Richtungen des Raumes gezogen? Aber ganz zweifellos zog es eine Linie, und diese Linie hat sich, so müssen wir schliessen, längs der Zeitdimensionen bewegt.”*

clocking windtime. not to draw a line along the dimensions of time. but to tear a hole into the latter.

listening closely to the ticks and tacks of winds and weathers, thunders and lightnings of bells and chimes, the whispers of clocks. timelines dissolving in the rain.

* quot. Egon Friedell: Die Rückkehr der Zeitmaschine. Zürich: Diogenes, 1974, pp. 13/14. [roughly transl.: "Just take a look at a really popular diagram, a weather map. The line I am following with my finger demonstrates the barometer's movement. [...] Obviously, the quicksilver has not drawn a line according to the general dimensions of space. Yet it has drawn a line – and thus, we have to conclude, this line has moved along the dimensions of time.”]

WINDTIME is a production of TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO.

TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO is radio on time.

since summer 2010, TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO is one of the active mechanisms of the TIME BENDING CLOCK, a research project and tool looking at alternate theories and practices of measuring time, operating at the intersections of art, media, cultural history and the history of science.
