Time Notes presents its time credit line.
If you had one minute, one hour, one extra year in your life: what would you do with it?

Place your bid for the time that you need and tell us how would you spend it.

The Time Notes Bank will take receipt of those desires that you could not concrete due to a lack of time or because you wasted it in things that you did not wanted.
Then, if you win, we will send you a time note of the corresponding value in time with your relegated desire printed on it.
For examples of how will use the time other users see the Given Time Data Base:

Biography
Gustavo Romano is a Buenos Aires-born contemporary artist who works in a variety of media including installations, actions, net art, video and photography.
Many of his projects are presented in various stages of preparation, at times even cross-branching into new projects. He uses media and technology devices as well as objects that pertain to our everyday life, decontextualizing them in an attempt to oblige us to rethink our familiar routines and preconceived notions.
He has participated in Videonale 11, Bonn (2007), the I Biennial of the End of the World, Ushuaia, Argentina (2007), Transitio MX, Mexico (2007), the I Singapore Biennale (2006), the VII Havana Biennial (2000), the II Biennial of Porto Alegre, Brazil (1999). He will participate in the edition of Madrid Abierto (2009-2010). He was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2006.
