Timeline

The video is intended to be an investigation about our contemporary and urban perception of time. But – in a specular way – is also intended to be a reflection about the contemporary and temporal perception of town.
It is an investigation and a reflection about the fact that time has become totally anthropocentric, strongly characterized in its perception by a technical and project-like tension which is bound to its functional control. We are talking about a time which is entirely rebuilt around the planes of a continuous and dynamic exchange between sings and ideas, goods and structures, nets and roads.
This work, in short, takes into consideration a sort of contemporary anthropological and psychological dimension, in which time – with its extension beyond mesure, beyond nature – determins and draws the coordinates of an existential rhythmics which belongs to a a urban and contemporary lifestyle. This is the reason why time is internally twisted by the cyclic attitude of loops in the signboards, rigorously delimited by the broken line of the processes of timing of traffic lamps, ipnotically extended beyond the unceasing motion of leds in the markings, which is widely innervated into the nets of communication.
This video intends to give us back the human sense of this perception, which is dynamic, dilated and cyclic. The visual and sound component are a new intepretation of the logics that is expressed – in a paradigmatic and functional way – by sofwares of editing video and music. These softwares have interfaces which are based on the timeline, a graphic representation of the flowing of time, intended as a conceptual and continuous line in which you can logically set the video and sound sequences. A line on which runs the cursor, implacable interpreter of data and protagonist.
