CROSS-DISCIPLINARY COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH-BASED PROJECT |
|
Abstract |
The notion of Time has always mystified and attracted the speculation of human cultures and civilizations. What is its nature? Where does it come from, and where is it going? Is it possible to fool it, to build a time machine? Scientists, philosophers, and religious figures have all attempted to answer such questions - yet we are still left with few, if any, answers. Can Art help in this inquiry? If we combine previous work toward a solution of the Time Conundrum with the application of artistic inquiry and art history, we may have a better picture of the way that humans have understood time, have visualized it, and have possibly misinterpreted it for generations. |
