9-5 Clock

Format: Video (16:9)
Industrialization is said to be responsible for a change in the social perception of time. It also appears to be connected with the way the society has evolved into a consumerist culture with the assumption that 'capital' is the key to everything. It is normal to equate Time with money and eulogize work with phrases like 'working 9-5' or 'work is worship'? Since a time-based-productive-society seems so desirable, I propose to shift the importance of time from each hour to each minute.
My 9 - 5 clock marks each second with a strobe pulse. The striking, pop colors enforce its presence on the viewer, a step ahead of the strategically placed clocks in work spaces. And, the underlying alarm sounds mark every minute to further impose the exaggerated importance of time.
