Clockvvork

by Jack Butcher

Clockvvork is the first physical piece of Visualize Value artwork, exhibiting at Art Basel Miami 2022.

The piece is an exploration of the ways in which we measure, think about, and use our time.

What is time?
What is value?
Are the two synonymous?
Have we always thought about time this way?
Why?

The canvas is an 1930s IBM punch clock, likely used at a place of work to quite literally keep people's time.

The clock is painted with black acrylic and finished by hand with white paint marker.

It should be relatively simple to identify when we aren't accumulating net new experience, but in practice, it doesn't seem to be.

Language is an incredible tool. It makes it possible for us to externalize what we think and communicate it to others.
