This piece consists of a three screen video projection of the military noon
gun in Rome. It is one of many military noon guns fixed at strategic geographical
points around the world to mark the suns' passage over the meridian . It brings
together the key elements of direction, location, and time. It also asserts
the primacy of actual lived time and experience over the 24-hour artificial
day of telepresence and the mercantile economy .

On Monday May 17th 1993 at 1pm in Newcastle on Tyne city centre a synchronised
walk took place in two separate locations by Pat Naldi and Wendy Kirkup. This
event was recorded on the 16 camera surveillance system in the city centre.
It consists of 20 ten-second sequences which were transmitted during commercial
breaks on Tyne tees television. The piece works with contemporary panopticism
and high technology, but also re-monumentalises the everyday. Remote sensing
equipment and the microstructures of the social collide. The placing of the
piece in advertising territory subtly interrogates divisions of public and private
time which usually pass un-remarked.
