But is there any danger that your boss could use it to keep tabs on you? “Theoretically it could be used for employee surveillance purposes, or you could install it at a computer exhibition so that you could tell which computer stand was being most heavily used by visitors. But really its just to show people what’s possible.” Unfortunately the time you save with ‘The Bank of Time’ can’t be traded in for hard cash. Instead it allows you to visualise your increasing idle time by growing virtual plants on your desktop. Just like watching your savings grow, the screensaver updates an image of a plant after every few hours of idle time you save. This means that if you want your plant to grow quickly then you have to ‘feed’ it idle time by leaving your computer alone for as long as possible. “Some people might try to ‘cheat’ by leaving their computers running overnight in order to increase their growth rate. In fact we expect people will soon be hard at work trying to waste as much time as possible!” A similar idea was launched a few years ago by the SETI institute who developed a piece of software that used your computer’s unused idle cycles to analyse radio telescope data for signs of extraterrestrial life. Futurenatural believe that the computer has the potential of using every conceivable moment for some form of work, almost eradicating the notion of ‘spare time’. “Things like investing and saving have always been based on the idea of working without having to do anything, making your money ‘work for you’. We’re just making this explicit.” ‘The Bank of Time’ project itself actually demanded an unusually large amount of work, the basis of its design being a huge database of thousands of photos of actual plants that have all been painstakingly recorded over the past two years. The screensaver plants ‘grow’ by periodically downloading a time lapse recorded image. “It was a gruelling job because there is no way to make a plant grow faster. Plants don’t care about deadlines.” On top of this the plant shoot was plagued by natural catastrophes such as plants falling over, being attacked by red spider mites and vandalism by mice. But the artists at Futurenatural ended up having to view all these setbacks philosophically. “In a sense it’s what the whole project is about – how different 'natural' cycles of time are compared to our artificial experience of time in a computerised society where everything has to function like clockwork.” Do Futurenatural have any plans to extend their project, perhaps by introducing virtual green fly to attack users plants? “It’s possible to vary the plants growth rate perhaps using data from the BBCs weather site to slow down if it’s cold or speed it up if there’s rain. Meteorological metaphors are often used in banking - the money markets are often seen as some kind of unpredictable natural phenomenon like the weather.” And just as your pot plants can die on you suddenly, ‘The Bank of Time’ should serve as a reminder that your investments can go down as well as up… ‘The Bank of Time’ screensaver can be downloaded free from  HYPERLINK http://www.theBankofTime.com http://www.theBankofTime.com.
