Back in the days of agricultural society people attend to the sunrise and sunset. They sow to ‘’the beginning of spring’’ and reap to ‘’grain in ear’’, living along the rhythm of four seasons, day after day, year after year.
Industrial progress changed how we live; mechanical machines roam on the streets, the tick tock of clocks hasten people to follow schedules, life becomes saturated with minutes and seconds and endless planning. In the contemporary the internet has become omnipresent, information is dispersed at the speed of thought, geographical distance collapses in virtual space, relationships intertwine in the real and virtual.
Between the swift exchange of speed and light a seam is cracked open, perceptions ride with wind and thunder, mirroring ourselves and others, mirroring the world as thousands of petals blossoming, continuously emerging meaning, the present, past and future becomes one, condensed into a infinite ray of light.
Time becomes duration in consciousness; memory collects into a stream, emotions become rhythm, affection follows form, at times frantic, other times mild, fluctuating fast or slow, constructing a rhythmic pulse.
