A 3D visual deconstruction of time and space. Work in progress.
A camera feed is passed through physical space over time, creating imagery that contains fragments from a range of times simultaneously. Unlike a 2D image taken over a long duration – which would essentially be a blur – the time is ordered in the third dimension, as if time was flowing in a particular direction.
Seen from ahead, the image is superimposed on itself, similar to its 2D counterpart, but from other angles, the flow of time through space can clearly be seen. And from behind, time slowly fades away into the distance.
The project builds on ideas first implemented in squidsoup’s Freq2 – www.squidsoup.org/freq2
Discontinuum is a Squidsoup project, in collaboration with ETHZ and horao GmbH.
