This program was adapted from the audio from a Public Art Piece called \\u2018Meantime  in Greenwich\\u2019 produced by David Clark in 2012. The installation consisted of twenty-four sundials installed throughout Sir Sandford Fleming Park in Halifax, accompanied by twenty-four stories about the mysterious nature of time (that  could be played on your phone or mp3 player), and twenty-four AR virtual sculptures  that could be accessed through a free iPhone app. The work celebrated the \\u2018Father of Standard Time\\u2019; Sir Sandford Fleming,  in the park that had been his retirement home and is where he died.

\\n

This work was commissioned by the Halifax  Regional Municipality as part of celebration of the 100th anniversary of  \\u2018The Dingle\\u2019, a tower that Sir Sandford Fleming built in 1912 as a  commemoration of 150 years of representational government in Nova  Scotia.
