Time De-calibration
Interaction Installation

We are now living under the sanction of standard time unit which gradually becomes an authority in modern society. Can we de-calibrate ourselves away from institutional time and jump out from the overloaded now? 

Time De-calibration probes into the contrast between institutional time and personal perception of time recreating a non- linear time experience in chronological-based world. By using poetry as medium and sound as the catalyst, Time De-calibration builds up a multi- sensory interaction experience attempting to drag people out from the inertia of non-stopping now.






The board shows the contrast between
institutional time and individual perception of time. 

( Real-time interaction and recording, no post-dubbing )










The sound associated with the blurred words 
recreates the nonlinear time experience of reading the poem.

 Words no longer have a fixed duration, 
but the associations and memories they evoke 
can carry the reader into the 'pure duration'
a time isolated from institutional time. 











Sound will be triggered by touching or moving the magnets. 

While the magnet moves to the left, the trips gradually rise
and will trigger sounds of memories and association 
that relate to specific words.
