“They have a different understanding of time and a different understanding of cinema because they look at images on small screens; they don’t have much of that cinematic, collective experience of watching a film together as a group.”
– Artist Christian Marclay, on how new generations of post-smartphone viewers encounter his landmark video installation The Clock (2010). Currently showing at Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the piece synchronizes thousands of film clips featuring clocks and watches to real time over a 24-hour screening.
