window, tangent to time

Public interactive video installation, using multiple cameras, old televisions, concealed computers, and custom real-time video processing software, streetside in a storefront window. A gift to passersby.

window, tangent to time is a set of three “video-mirrors” that give participants an unfamiliar perspective of themselves; viewers perceive their present moment rotated into the dimension of time but not space.

The most cursory experience is like that of a funhouse mirror. Deeper reflection reveals a new way of visualizing and physically interacting with four-dimensional spacetime. Committed, engaged participants will notice that the duration of a moment slowly, glacially expands and contracts every 45 minutes, subtly altering the speed at which participants experience moments of time.

window, tangent to time set up at 51 3rd St. Troy, NY (video not visible).
