DE-COMPOSITION OF TIME
DE-COMPOSITION OF TIME is a formal study of time and it’s behavioral movement in space represented through a series of objects at various scale.
As a start, an analytical study of a watch is done by taking its pieces apart and molding them in a cast to understand it’s replicability potential. These internal parts are then measured and modeled in scale within a digital medium.
To understand the negative spaces within, the inner parts of the watch are geometrically warped into one other forming a monolithic sculptural piece.
Through this formation technique, the pieces are then fragmented in segments and overlayed over a series translucent planes that have the projection of the original states of the warped pieces. The resulting object is DE-COMPOSITION OF TIME. This object in digital space is then brought back to the physical world through 3D printing.
The study further projects the learning from this sculptural piece onto an object that moves linearly in space in a certain period of time: The subway train.
A series of graphic and sculptural pieces are formed that documents the movement of the train - where it speeds, where it slows - through a 3 minute journey. This then is charted over a fragmented graphic of linear seconds in order to map the full journey of the train.
