“I was lamenting the loss of my strip of pink sky when I caught sight of it afresh, but red this time, in the opposite window which it left at the second bend in the line, so that I spent my time running from one window to the other to reassemble, to collect on a single canvas the intermittent antipodean fragments of my fine scarlet ever-changing morning, and to obtain a comprehensive view of it and a continuous picture.”- Marcel Proust, ‘À la recherche du temps perdu’, vol 2 (1919)

Nicolas Schoffer, ‘Chronos 8’ (1968)
“It is not enough to create a work. This work must insert itself in the programs which guide the unfolding of individual and collective existence.

Harold Eugene Edgerton (Rapatronic photography)
“I don't claim to define the situation, I try to reveal tendencies. And I think I've revealed a number of important ones: the question of speed; speed as the essence of war; technology as producer of speed war as logistics, not strategy; war as preparation of means and no longer as battles, declaration of hostilities”- Paul Virilio
![Page 44: Time, Technology & Perception](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051014/54c807d64a7959671a8b45b6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

“What kind of time do we experience online, when we get lost amid dead links, get blocked at restriced access sites, search queries that lead to who knows where? It’s not clock time, ans it’s not Swatch time, it’s a time of lags and latencies, of waiting and clicking through, of fast and slow? It’s the experience of differing speeds and asynchronicity”- Robert Hassan
![Page 46: Time, Technology & Perception](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051014/54c807d64a7959671a8b45b6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
“Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey that reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we live it. After all, Number One, we're only mortal.”- Captain Jean Luc Picard, ‘Star Trek Generations’ (1994)

Douglas Gordon, ‘24 Hours Psycho’ (1993)
“The viewer is catapulted back into the past by his recollection of the original, and at the same time he is drawn into the future by his expectations of an already familiar narrative… A slowly changing present forces itself in between.”- Douglas Gordon
![Page 51: Time, Technology & Perception](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051014/54c807d64a7959671a8b45b6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
David Claerbout, ‘The Bordeaux Piece’ (2004)
“I dislike the discourse on slowing down and deceleration, because what those discourses do, is they still take ‘speedyness’ as their reference and then they slow down from there on. So it becomes therapeutic or it becomes a way of making the whole system crashing down, falling apart and disintegrating... If I work with decelaration is probably more deceleration of the perception itself, of how you observe.” - David Claerbout
