As you stand in Union Square, 14th Street and Park Avenue, and look up, you see a huge piece of art on a building across the street to the south. Sometimes there is steam coming out of the center of this piece of art. To the left of this art display there is a row of many numbers continually changing. Most people think it is telling the national debt. But in fact it is a digital clock display. It tells the time digitally relative to midnight.
Read it left and right for the time it is, and read it right to left for the hours remaining until midnight. Pretty complicated looking for such a task. it causes no small amount of discussion and guessing. The title is Metronome and the artist is Kristen Jones with Andrew Ginzel. Next time there, stand and gawk.
