More about the ArcheTime Project

Filmmaker Phillip Adams once said, “Of all the big questions of existence… none impacts our daily lives more than the problem of time.”  

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, as with 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.   If we combine previous work in philosophy, physics, poetry, music, visual arts and information science toward a solution of the "Time Conundrum" with the application of artistic and philosophical inquiry as well as historical and contemporary information science and technology, we may gain a better picture of the way that humans have understood, visualized, and possibly even misinterpreted time for generations.

Today, computers and their associated technologies are tools that strongly influence all aspects of our lives, including our understanding of and connection to time. This conference will also explore changes in our perceptions of time stemming from new technologies, e.g., have linear forms of information access changed as a result of non-linear, hypertextual influences and the perception of time as more non-linear?

The project will seek to answer a few fundamental questions: Can a multidisciplinary collaboration between artists and scientists bring us closer to an answer to the age-old question of the nature of time? What is the role of art in the realm of contemporary scientific thought and discussion? Are aesthetics a precursor to genuine understanding?
