Sun Dial I (DCF77) - Sonic Land Art Installation

Time, like sound, is invisible, fluid, without body. We can measure it, try to capture it in a wristwatch or an mp3 – but these are just representations of an event already past. We are living in the echo of the industrial revolution, and the world is becoming a carefully regulated factory. Through experiencing other modes of time perception, we can become less efficient and more human.

Sun Dial I (DCF77) is the documentation of a site responsive land art installation which challenges the current measurement of time. DCF77 is a long wave transmission station located in Mainflingen, Germany. This array of broadcast antennas sends out a powerful pulse each second at the frequency of 77.5khz

I secretly installed a Sun Dial in the field where DCF77’s antennas are located. Constructed of natural objects found on site, this is ancient technology which is only accurate in its region and cannot operate without the sun.
