A Sense of Time

Generative Audiovisual Installation

Description

"A Sense of Time" is a video installation that connects the permanence and ephemerality of sound and light, primordial elements from which our memories and fantasies are woven. This techno-impressionistic experience combines stroboscopic computer-generated visuals, immersive audio, and recordings of the artist's neural activity during meditative states.

Much like the reveries that emerge when gazing at the sky, "A Sense of Time" invites us into a theater of disappearance where fleeting images and hallucinations reshape our sense of self and consciousness. As beings living under the light of the natural sun, we find in its flares a sanctuary for joy, grief, loss, and connection. But will future societies find comfort beneath myriads of artificial suns? Will they confide their deepest thoughts to virtual moons?
