It is signed on the back, and is made with museum quality hi-definition 12 colour printing, certified for 100+ years.

The 5 mm crystal clear plexiglass with polished edges creates a smooth contemporary work. The back of the image is sealed with a white backing layer to protect it. I made this work for a futuristic public, a public of robots. Imagine a robot visits a gallery. It goes to the gallery's database, looks up an artwork and reads the title and other metadata. On this occasion, the robot selects 25 artworks and generates a display. The artwork that is the source of the meta-data leading to this work is shown at the bottom of the image. ‘At Four O'clock In UGLD’ is one of the 25 unique works that I made from this sequence. The 25 works in this series can be seen individually or grouped together in a changing arrangement, creating different narratives from the titles as texts. This work also features the artist’s typeface, Being Human, which shows keywords of the human rights declaration within the capitals. It is mounted behind clear plexiglass which reflects the surroundings and adds accidental and temporary images to the work.
