As long as the red button is held, the Time Machine TM will print a receipt. The longer the button is pressed, the more extensive the printout becomes.

The Time Machine TM Network was launched in 2013 by artist Malte Bartsch. As part of the project, 69 time machines have been positioned in a total of 4 countries.

A total of 25,496 individual artistic works (receipts) were created in which the button was pressed for 157,566 seconds.

Each installation is:
thermal printer, button, person, time, 25 cm × 31 cm × 13 cm, 2013 – ongoing.
