The process of dismantling the Water Clock in the Victoria Centre, Nottingham starts this evening. After the Mall is closed we will move in to carefully take the clock apart, piece by piece, labeling each part with a unique number as we go. As the Clock was hand built we will need to ensure that each piece goes back to its correct position or it may not fit. The numbering system will allow us to do that.
As work progresses we will be photographing all the parts and, at the same time, three video cameras will record the proceedings. This will allow us to put together a timelapse film of the dismantling process that will aid putting it back together both at Millennium Point for the Birmingham Emett Exhibition and then back at the Victoria Centre in the Spring/Summer 2015. If all goes well with the filming we will post the timelapse video on the website.
