Jenny Holzer and Time

Jenny Holzer
According to Wikipedia, "Holzer is mostly known for her large-scale public displays that include billboard advertisements, projections on buildings and other architectural structures, as well as illuminated electronic displays. The main focus of her work is the use of words and ideas in public space. Originally utilizing street posters, LED signs became her most visible medium."  Time is a dimension.  Kit White states, "recorded media, video, film, LED word displays, and computer simulations allow for the manipulation of time and the creation of temporal illusion."  The time that a viewer is in front of an artwork, creates the experience.  Some artwork requires only seconds to create an experience, while other artwork needs a longer duration of time to express itself.  Time is in the hand of the beholder.  Enjoy!
