From last two weeks, the theme I talked about is subjectivity and objectivity of time. I took a step back to look at how time is measured the conventional way.
- Stopwatch
- Apple watch
- Sundial
- Calendar
- Timer
- Moonphase
The phase 1 of my project is to study how we measure time:
And through each iteration I start to think that the tools we use to measure time are narrow-minded, inaccurate and are not a true reflection of our experience of time. So my treatment of the images becomes more abstract trying to erase the meaning of these tools
I concluded that time is a presumed system that is imposed on us. I used the images created for the poster to create this animation that shows the time system as a net that cloaks and dominates on top of our daily life.
I started with make a representation of duration, the length and shape of these shapes have no meaning but they are just a container for information
Referencing back to my previous project of accumulative time and experience, I brought that idea into here as well. These episodes of duration are stacked to create the density of time and how we tell time is through looking at the variables, the colors. The more transparent it is, the faster the experience of time, and the more colorful it is, the perceived duration of events it is.
