I would guess because it was 12 hours before the 2012 official start at 20.12 tonight

It was originally set for 8.00am, but that clashed with the radio and TV news bulletins and they wanted live coverage, so it got moved. (I say originally 8.00am, but Martin Creed's first idea was around 5.00am, until it was pointed out that no-one would take part!)
