TIMEGAZING

"The speed of light is absolute, invariable and cannot be exceeded (and indeed the speed of light is actually more fundamental than either time or space). In relativity, time is certainly an integral part of the very fabric of the universe and cannot exist apart from the universe, but, if the speed of light is invariable and absolute, Einstein realized, both space and time must be flexible and relative to accommodate this." www.exactlywhatistime.com (2018)

TIMEGAZING is an object that presents a basic non-manmade phenomenon of splitting white light into its constituent parts as an example of refraction and dispersion. When extracted from their natural context, even the simplest physical phenomena tend to gain our interest.

TIMEGAZING was first commissioned by SunEffects for Reflektor Festival in Helsinki, autumn 2018, and has since been exhibited across Finland from Lapland to Korso.
