Relevance of Time

FEATURED AT AIGA SLC 100 SHOW

See Time Move











This work explores the perception and disassociation of time through analog technology and viewer interaction.

At its core, Relevance of Time is a 24-frame analog animation. However, the animation is not perceptible to the naked eye.  Instead, it requires a time-based recording device, such as a smartphone camera, to become visible. The work invites viewers to question the relationship between temporal experience and technological mediation.

The animation is displayed atop a rotating vinyl record, referencing obsolete forms of media that once captured and played back time. As the record spins, the frames appear only through the lens of a recording device, creating a sense of delay and reflection.
Animation you can’t see

















until you look back


Viewers are encouraged to engage physically with the piece by placing the stylus onto the vinyl.

This action plays the accompanying audio at an accelerated pace, intentionally disrupting the conventional rhythm of music and further challenging one's internal sense of time.

A song without tempo





In this work, clocks and records are stripped of their familiar functions. What remains is a temporal artifact, visible only through mediation, audible only through distortion.
