Since 2004, the Time Notes Bank has worked on implementing a new currency system, which, rather than use monetary conventions based on the accumulation of capital, uses temporal units: minutes, days, years. Offices and other performances have been set up in many cities of Europe, America and Asia. The actions refer to different local and global issues: the exchange systems, the over-employment and unemployment, the increasing virtualization of the economy, and the existential relationship of the human being with his own lifetime.
