VISUALIZING TIME

vtlogo

A collection of drawings and sketches that visualize how people perceive the passage of time: many draw something immediately, as they always had it clear in their mind, but also say that they had never thought about it before. What emerges is an unexpected variety of visuals ranging from minimal abstractions (dots), to lines, to circles and surfaces, and beyond to to complex symbolic forms.

In June 2009 Visualizing Time was present with a video at the interdisciplinary conference Archetime in New York. The curator of the conference and exhibition, artist Olga Ast, has also invited Icastic to contribute a chapter in the book Infinite Instances.
