TIME ART: New Idea

TIME ART: New Idea

So, after thinking about our three screen installation project, i've thought of a completely new idea that deals with the passage of time.

After a bit of research on how this has been done, the main thing that came to mind was a time lapse, but i don't want to do that - not in the traditional sense anyway - since we are supposed to experiment.

I immediately thought of something Rosie showed us:

here i like the rapid cutting and the lack of sound, that makes it a bit more mundane, a mood that i'm going for.

After more digging around, i found a really interesting music video that uses a similar style, but in a more graphics heavy approach:


I want to do something in a similar style, but i'll have to find a way to appropriate it to a three screen installation. Hopefully i will be able to after tomorrow's tutorial with Simon.

Also, after reading this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternalism_(philosophy_of_time) i'm also thinking of the concept of time existing simultaneously across all points in time. Maybe it could be the basis for the conceptual part of my piece.
