People
were given the opportunity to speed up or slow down the passage
of time by clicking on the accelerator and brake buttons of
a chronometer-like display on the project web site. The artist
wanted to show how technology’s effect on time was a
question of a competing social forces. Accordingly, each person
had to contend with all of the others working the machine’s
controls at any given moment. The speed of time displayed
on the chronometer was therefore the net result of all ongoing
efforts to either speed it up or slow it down.
