On the Hour
On the Hour is a series of Internet art projects that mark every full hour around the clock, unfolding over a time frame of thirty seconds. Replacing the Sunrise/Sunset series, which ran from 2009 to 2024 and marked sunset and sunrise in New York City, On the Hour projects are commissioned by the Whitney specifically for whitney.org.
Using whitney.org as their habitat, On the Hour projects disrupt, replace, or explore the museum website as an information environment. This form of engagement captures the core of artistic practice on the Internet, the intervention in existing online spaces. The series is organized by Christiane Paul, Curator of Digital Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
To see the current project, be anywhere on this website on the hour.
