Summary edit

Description

The digital countdown on this work by Austrian artist Hundertwasser stopped at midnight on January 1st, 2001 – the beginning of this new millennium (not January 1st, 2000!). Since then the conventional clock continues to count time. Dating from 1992, this piece is hidden away behind the shops of Akasaka Dori next to the TBS building. The plaque is a little out of date as it doesn’t mention that Hundertwasser passed away on February 19th, 2000 – before the countdown on his clock had finished. (Source: tokyocheapo.com).
