After watching this film produced by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, I realized how one sided my perspective of time was. (ha ha ha. pun intended) In the installation, I had chaotically draped an incomplete room about 8'x10' with garbage bags. When a person enters the space, they would move through the entanglement of the bags, shaking the strings that intertwined between. Having walls that did not reach the ceiling, multiple sources of light, both colored and white would bounce off the planes of darkness. If properly explored, the viewer would then arrive at the "center" to a 3 dimensional diagram of time- the documentation of movement. This "center" was a box that held a number of colored bulbs. These bulbs were guarded by a welded grid which visually represented 'the plane'. Attached on either side were movable squares of equal size that explained time. These wings when shaken and moved would display the idea, "it was there, now it's there". Words alone show past and present, however, there needed to be a physical change to notice there was any change at all. Once there is physical change, there becomes a past, creating the measurement of time.
As the metal structure displayed time, attached was the conical vortex of garbage bags. In a very basic sense, I had created an odd representation of a black hole.
Images will come once the ONLY set of pictures are found. Then further theories will be developed and explained.
*please note that I claim no scientific fact or proof that my personal theories of time are valid in any legitimate terms. I am an inquirer of all sorts of academia and enjoy the freedom of thought and theory. So don't quote me on any of this.
