Bright Future

BRIGHT FUTURE is a sound clock made up of jingles and commentaries composed by Wojciech Bąkowski. Reporting on the current time is supplemented by poetic phrases about the passing of time: nostalgic messages from the past mingle with promises of a better tomorrow. The artist’s voice, transposed by software for messaging in public space, contrasts with the metaphorical content. The automation of the message alludes to chiming clocks from the past and the rigidity of the figures they used.
