How long is a second? How much time is between one heartbeat and the next?
Our understanding of time is through rhythm and repetition – the rhythm of ticking clocks, the rising and setting of the sun, metronomes, counting mentally by the thousands – are all indications of time passing by. Time is man-made; there is no definite indication of time, and each one of us perceives it differently.
S ECOND (Pronounced as “Split Second”), aims to manipulate one’s sense of time through an ever-changing, rhythmic soundscape that allows viewers to discover their own sense of time in a place that lacks any evidence of it. By creating a spatial instrument that generates rhythms, the repetition of sound becomes an indicator for the passing of time. Through participation, the viewer is able to modify the length of time in the installation, affecting their own perception and that of the next.
