All of these pieces run "clocks" that measure different illusory time-lines. When the "user" starts "Visiting Alice," four "clocks" begin, each measures a different quantity of time; the clock on the top left counts time-units of 1005 ms, the top right 1006 ms, the bottom left 1007 ms, and the bottom right 1009 ms. After they have been started the clocks slowly go out of phase and will never meet. When I watch/listen to the piece, I realized that I don't measure time as a continuous space but rather always relate it to these pulses (of visual changes,) in time. When it is unclear visually where a new second starts and an old one ends it feels like a temporal no-man's-land. Music has an aural description for this absurdity; beats coalesce into compound beats and the passage of time seems always clear. On the other hand, the visual descriptions of these multiple timelines do not group comfortably into regular compound beats (and none measure actual "real" seconds.) All the people who watched this piece with me suggested that it was clear that the clocks marked time, and assumed one of them was accurate and the others were "wrong."
