Soft Possibilities | Temporal Becoming
Interactive sound and visual installationSoft Possibilities.. Synchronized Heartbeats.. explores synchronicity across bodies, sound, ecological rhythms, and circadian clocks. It frames listening and visual engagement as pathways to perceive the temporal flows inherent in interaction and relation.
The naturally repeating cycles of activities, seasons, life and death, and the biorhythms of nature represent the true calendar of living Earth. Enforced clocks separate human temporal perception from our innate experiences of time, creating psychological shifts from a reverent engagement with life's oscillations to a rigid hegemony of centralized, standardized time, and time scarcity.
Here, participants experience time as relational and ecological, where co-synchronization emerges through attention, interaction among living beings, and dialogue. This work positions these practices as a form of temporal decolonization and decentralization, exploring how alternative rhythms grounded in care, collective attunement, and life's oscillations can shape human experience.
Connect with your inner clock - your heartbeat - and share in synchronicity.
