"Christian Marclay's The Clock: a masterpiece of our times"

First graf:
This week, very late to the party, I visited Christian Marclay's staggering moving-image installation The Clock, a 24-hour montage of thousands of film and television clips with glimpses of clocks, watches, and snatches of people saying what time it is. This incredible installation is set up so that whatever time is shown is, in fact, the correct time as of that instant. So as well as providing food for thought about the nature of time in the cinema, and indeed in life itself, the whole thing itself functions as a gigantic and gloriously impractical clock. By the time you read this, it may be possible to get The Clock as a streaming-video app to download to your iPhone, automatically putting itself in sync with your time setting.

Good luck. What is required is disambiguation and a new article
