Reflections:
An object of art becomes autonomous when granted the power to create context and visibility in situ.
Why time-based? Time is reminded of its experiential dimension and the consequently inevitable transformation of the physical context where an object/observer exists.
Observation is expected, as in the essential logic of technology.
Linear dynamics in technological history and contingent nature of time-based media art, due to the indispensable conditioning of time and space, form a foundation for the observer’s necessitated intervention.
The temporal base enables a synchronization of exposure/contemplation between the viewer and maker, a conduit of confronted, open conversation that’s otherwise frozen in a commodifiable shrine.
