The ninth annual iteration of Minute/Year began on 1. January. As in previous years, the change of the year also brings a change in location. In 2024, Minute/Year is installed at Olin Memorial Library, the on-campus library at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, in the United States.
Throughout 2024, from the beginning of January until the end of December, the work will record and layer one minute of audio, at 8:24pm — or, 20:24 — each day.
Each year, the spectrogram images that are generated by Minute/Year are posted online with a specific colour. This year, we will be returning to the colour that was first used in 2017 — a purplish-red (specifically, #620B22). The work is structured in seven-year cycles, and we are now in the second year of the second cycle.
Minute/Year is a durational, process-based work, ongoing since January 1., 2016. The daily archive of traces created by the work is available online, and can be followed on Vimeo, Mastodon, or Telegram. The recordings are also available as a weekly podcast (via RSS, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts). A full overview of the work is available here.
