Metronome is a 2002 Canadian short experimental film which mixes appropriated film clips and video by video artist Daniel Cockburn to express ideas about rhythm and order, the self and other minds, and the digital age. Densely philosophical,[2] the work is acknowledged as his international "breakout hit" after several locally successful short works, winning praise from critics, a mention, and an award.

Language sets everyone the same traps; it is an immense network of wrong turnings… What I have to do then is erect signposts at all the junctions where there are wrong turnings so as to help people past the danger points.
