Time Composition

This project is aimed to compose a spatial somatic time with one’s bodily measurements of the universe. 
 

Human’s time is inherently connected to stars and light, while the night is the time for restoration and finding deeper connection to oneself and the universe. The modern society is full of information, and mass (opinions, habits, movements, etc.) is considered as desirable normality. During the time of the pandemic, this mass has transferred entirely online, leaving no escape for the social world day and night, while causing a feeling of being harassed all the time, anxiety, self-depreciation, emptiness, and isolation. 

In order to resist this feeling, 

the time composers believe that humans need to abandon the standardised and abstracted unity of time and space, and reconnect with one’s individual body, and its time and position relative to the universe. This is done through 2 instruments, which are extensions to one’s vision and touch, which are created through measurements purely from human body and its divisions. 

The dial [touch] measures time directly in relation to 2 stars in the night, which poses a hypothesis; 
The sky mapper [vision] maps moving stars in one’s accessible part of night sky, archiving the experiment.

The engravings from the dial frame the record of movement for the coordinate, while the sky mapper maps prove the hypothesis to be right or wrong to adjust the structure. The ritual is a feedback loop of constantly posing hypotheses and experimenting, which composes a spatial somatic time that restores the internal and external order of life.

We believe that our community should be building a private, individual, sensual and emotional relationship from one person to another person. Therefore, the communication method is necessarily quiet, secret, full of glitches and surprises. Therefore, the transmission of this ritual is through shortwave radio, which is sent off to the atmosphere and awaits to be picked up by individuals that would accidentally tune in and decide to compose his/her own time.
