A durational sound-based artwork.
Minute/Year is a Mastodon, Twitter, Telegram, and Vemeo bot created by Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty that posts new recordings from the authors’ installation artwork of the same name. From minuteyear.com/about:
Minute/Year is an automated, process-based, durational work, in which sound is played, recorded, and layered, in a resonant space, for one minute each day. The result that is created each day is then automatically published online.
This process occurs daily, but the location of the space in which it occurs alters annually. Over time, this has meant that the work has existed in a variety of public, private, and semi-public spaces, outlined below. Each day’s one-minute-long recording is archived as audio, with an accompanying spectrogram image and video. This ongoing daily process has created an accumulating archive of these sounds and images, which continues to grow.
