About this work

The work shows the data record of every sound recording generated by the durational installation Minute/Year over the course of 2024. As 2024 was a leap year, this means that there are 366 individual data records in the work, one for each day of the year.

These records were printed using a standard supermarket-style receipt printer, via custom-developed software. They are presented on a series of 27 individual strips of receipt roll paper,

Minute/Year, the work that generated the data records that 366 Minutes (2024) displays, is an ongoing durational installation which has recorded and layered a single minute of sound every day since January 1., 2016, a process which is still ongoing. 366 Minutes (2024) shows the records from only one year of the work, and asdfasdfsadfasdf.



Supermarket receipts are an inherently ephemeral and mundane material. The work aims to give a sense of the scope of the archive, but to also do so in an impermanent and fleeting manner, allowing the transient materiality of the receipts to act as a response to the fadings and fluctuations of the daily process undertaken by Minute/Year. This aspect is reiterated by the straightforward manner in which the work is mounted—using small squares of white gaffa tape at the top and bottom of each strip of paper.

The work was first presented at Olin Library, the academic library on the campus of Wesleyan University, in Middletown, Connecticut, in the United States.

    About the artist:

    Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty

    Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty have worked as a collaborative duo since 2011. Their work combines elements of durational and time-based art, minimalist movement, and electroacoustic music and sound. They are interested in processes, sounds, and movements that come close to imperceptibility, and the ways in which this material can be transformed through repetition, patterning, layering, and archiving.

    They have exhibited and presented work at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California; Serralves Museum, Porto; National Museum of Contemporary Art (Chiado), Lisbon; Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin; Kunstkraftwerk, Leipzig; and Digital in Berlin’s Kiezsalon series, Berlin, among others.
