Timezone Ensemble
app, wooden suspension with play cord
Timezone Ensemble is an artwork in the form of an app, available at the AppStore and Google Play. If you download the app you are invited to join ‘Timezone Ensemble’: a multiplayer game in which players battle over time. Each player is challenged to manipulate the "collective time" to match their local time. How it works: imagine you're a player from New Zealand and it is 18:00 p.m. you're trying to get the 'collective time' to match your local time. While pushing the buttons and adding or subtracting hours, minutes and seconds, by doing so, one of your opponents living in Holland is trying to reach the opposite: matching the 'collective time' to his or her local time, 08:00 a.m.
