<P> For instance, if the clock reads "195641189180304", it means that time is 19: 56 (7: 56 PM) and 41.1 seconds, and that there are 04 hours, 03 minutes, and 18.9 seconds remaining in the day . For a few months in 2005, the clock on Metronome did not give the time of day, but instead counted down the time until the International Olympic Committee was to announce the host city of the 2012 Summer Olympics . New York City ultimately lost its bid to be host city to the 2012 Olympics to London . </P> <P> The clock showed the wrong figures for over a year in 2010--2011 until, in June 2011, the dial - up connection it had previously used to obtain an atomic time reading was updated . </P> <P> Artists Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel state that: </P> <P> Metronome is an investigation into the nature of time . The work references the multiple measures of time that simultaneously inform and confound our consciousness of the moment . The composite work intends to evoke contemplation on the dynamic flux of the city . The elements suggest the instant and infinity, astronomical sequence, geological epoch and ephemerality . Metronome is meant to be integral to the very history, architectural fabric, spirit and vitality of the city . </P>
