2√0, 1971

Originally not conceived as art, it was designed to function horizontally as a level, vertically as a clock. Left uncalibrated, it became a work by resisting the notion that space and time are measurable. The title is a nonsense mathematical formula — one reviewer wrote, "drawing attention to the quixotic Western attempt to define things with a nod to Eastern mysticism."  The original work was made at Massachussetts Institute of Technology; the edition at Stony Brook University, Long Island.
