In regards
to the lovely punch cards

And on the subject
of documenting the passing of time:

Look into the artist Teching Hsieh. He did a series of one year performances from 1979-84. In his 1980-81 performance year he documented himself next to a punch card machine with his punch cards, at the same times ever day, wearing the same uniform, etc. His stuff is sweet, and he was doing daily documentation of his appearance long before those that have done it recently. Yea? Cool.
