MALE SPEAKER: Here's an exclusive First Look
at YouTube's upcoming trend-- clocking.
PER DE GRAAF: Clocking is a continuation
of my work on planking.
Where planking made a statement about space,
clocking is about time.
BRIAN SPELMAN: You stand in public with your arms
up like a clock to accurately display the time.
And you just keep doing it for hours.
PER DE GRAAF: Human beings are ruled by clocks.
They tell us when to act.
If we ourselves become the clock,
does that put us back in control of our own destiny?
BRIAN SPELMAN: It seems real simple,
but everything, every moment, is scripted and storyboarded.
PER DE GRAAF: The clocker is declaring what time it is.
Simultaneously, time is declaring
where the clocker's hands belong.
Is time our servant or our master?
That's the conversation I want to start with this meme.
MALE SPEAKER: Now it's time for you
to express your opinion on the objective nature of reality.
Step one, position your hands to match the current time of day.
Step two, slowly move your hands in time with a clock.
Step three, upload a clocking video to YouTube today!
