Collaboration between the arts and the sciences. Proposal The notion of Time has always mystified and attracted the speculation of humanity. What is its nature? Where is it going and where does it come from? Is it possible to fool it, to build 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. Can Art help in our inquiry? If we combine the previous efforts toward a solution of the Time Conundrum with the application of artistic inquiry and art history, I propose that we will have a better picture of the way that humans have understood time, have visualized it, and have potentially misinterpreted it for generations. My work as a conceptual artist investigates the connection between time, space and information, and the impact that they have on everything that we find around us. Presently, I am organizing an artistic action-investigation, titled "The Visualization of Time." This will include: • An open call for the organization of international exhibitions that represent contemporary visualizations of time, including those found in the visual arts, literature, poetry, film, comic books, etc. • A lecture series on the history of the visualization of time, and new theories that support or challenge these historical views. • Panel discussions that include scientists, artists, IT professionals and all other interested parties. • A catalogue with art, texts and analysis of the action and its possible conclusions. I'm currently looking for venues and support for this project.© Olga Ast, 2006 Essays:
