The end of the millennium or the countdown
Article Abstract:
The clock at the Beaubourg Centre, digitally counting backwards to the millenium in millions of seconds, symbolizes the 20th century since it illustrates the reversal of modernity's relation to time. Time is not counted from an origin progressively but is counted by subtraction, a perspective of entropy. Counting the seconds to the end means everything is already at an end.
