Week 01

Telepresent time could be about objects that allows us to experience either the past or the future, e.g. relics, time capsules, Stone carvings etc. Objects that capture a little piece of time, they give a glimpse into the past. Pictures allow for this effect but to a lesser degree or photogrammetry which gives us a way to explore a specific point in time in three dimensions.

Alternatively it could be about being in the past, present and future all at once (prescience). We are currently blind to time, in a way that we can only “see” our current presence and we’re dependent on objects / history to “visit” the past. If time was non - linear we wouldn’t be bound by a timeline anymore.

For example the Space Guild Navigators in Dune that can see paths through time. Or for example visualising different moments in time simultaneously.

Alternatively maybe it can be to have access to memories of people in the past, e.g. The water of life from Dune -> access to all the memories of past ancestors, e.g. maybe it could be about seeing through the eyes of another person, a shared vision.

As for looking into the future, it is more-so about being able to see the influence of actions / events, than a perfect simulation of for example a week / year into the future. Korean Saju, fortune telling to determine our life path?

Explore ways to capture and visualize time, that are not movies. A non - linear movie.
