Description
With this work Olga Kisseleva offers a perspective on current developments and cost saving in industrial business.
Eight interactive electronic clocks are connected in real time on the "n-value" servers from different countries of the world. The time shown by each of the clocks flow rate proportional to the time worked by a person for 1 euro. The clock also displays real-time data to calculate the value of time: the duration of life, number of hours worked in the year, security index...

The installation Time-Value takes the concept of n-value as it's starting point.

"N-value" is a system set up by the development department of multinational groups. This system allows them to optimize the location of their production units. The system is based on the ratio between the cost of hand-made works and raw materials on the one hand and transport costs and risks on the other.
