This link is a website, a conversation page including all artistic techniques which relate to the notion of time. The link is from the Tate gallery website, the conversation I was looking at is called “time-based media” which talks about different practices that can affect the sense of time and how we experience it. I used this link in my ‘Drawing Transformations’ project, where I was researching into time and our relationship with it. This link was useful because the processes I read about can all relate to time and each one has a different effect on time and how we encounter it, for example an audio based piece, can still give a sense of time through sounds that we associate with it and space. Similarly to film based art, using only images we associate with a certain period in time to change the way we think about time and how we encounter it.
I found this source useful because it made me think about using duration as an element in my art. This made me think about what “duration” could mean and what effect it could have on the viewer, for instance if an installation had to be taken down and then created again, the repeated action would almost create a cycle, giving a sense of infinity which relates to time. Therefore, this would play with the concept of time, beginning and ending. Overall this source has made me think about using different practices to relate to the context of my work, I thought about using film and sound to give a surreal, timeless experience to the viewer.
