WORKS

For this project, the whole YCAM facilities are fully used for the display on a large scale. Starting their exploration at the foyer, visitors go along the course navigated through different time areas and booths. During the exhibition period, related projects with wide-ranged stances and targets will present a variety of events designed for both professionals and amateurs, with the cooperation of the Research Institute for Time Studies of Yamaguchi University. The events include lectures on “time” by experts in different areas, guided tours, introductory guidance, and children’s courses. They are conducted simultaneously with the exhibition.
 

CONCEPT PARAMETER

As for the exhibit, the key concept of “time” that constitutes the exhibition itself is expressed in three parameters; “time scale that means different size of time,” “time design that means different designs of time,” and “time’s arrow that means the irreversibility of time.” With this classification in three colors, visitors can enjoy the exhibition in a more interesting and easier way.
Visitors can choose their course from either traveling in the order of the exhibits marked with numbers in each display zone or zigzagging their way to warp from this “time” world to that, classified by the three parameters identified in three colors. A total of 24 works arranged in three concept parameters are on display. (* is a sign for works newly created for YCAM.)

 

Time scale (size of time)

Visitors can experience the diversity of time in different phenomena, ranging from nature, life, and the universe, to the man-made and global networks.
Items on display are ten.

 
 
 
  • What is accurate time?
  • Biological Clock:24-hour DNA
  • Animal Time
  • Special Navigating of Constellations
  • Anechoic Space
  • Time Recorder
  • Time Episode
  • The Complete History of Time
  • Heatbeat Clock
  • Market as Speed Spectra[MaSS]

 

Time design (different designs of time)

How are different phenomena reflected on filters such as human cognition, perception, and mentality, and how are they molded into consciousness of time? There are diverse time designs generated by reactions and interactions.
Items on display are nine.

 
  • Exploration of Time in Life
  • Delayed Phone
  • Global Bearing
  • Rhythms of Life
  • Audial Time Illusion-How many flashes?
  • Visual Time Illusion-Is what you see reality?
  • Layeredscope-Sound Stratum
  • Time Warp Sound Clash System ii
  • Another Time,Anotfer Space:Marshmallow Scope

Time’s arrow (the arrow of time)

An arrow flies forward in a particular direction, and the irreversibility of time and its development generate certain things.
Items on display are five.

 
 
 
 
  • Light Journey
  • Radio Telescope Observation
  • Slow Motion
  • Running to the Theory of Relativity
  • Vexations-Composition in Progress
