Hynek Alt draws on the potential hidden in the small faults, shifts and deviations of clocks that arise from technical imperfections. In a society enslaved by the constant growth of productivity through optimisation, they are a nuisance, yet they could also become a key to liberation. The real tower clock of the Klementinum is moved to the ground floor, next to the public reading room, and into a 3D render generated in real time. This questions the concept of synchronised time as a social construct that sets our balance between life and work. Its uselessness and fragility are further stressed by a momentary image that renews itself again and again.
