Throunght time

Throught Time, better said “Through time” is an interactive work that invites the viewer to explore two different eras through images, sounds and text. The canvas becomes a temporary window where the user can immerse themselves in two contrasting historical moments. When touching the canvas, the work alternates between images representing different periods, accompanied by a soundtrack characteristic of each period. Text at the bottom of the canvas suggests the user tap to change eras, providing a subtle guide to interaction.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

Throught Time is inspired by Giorgio Agamben’s theory on the archeology of the work of art and Nathalie Heinich’s reflections on the work beyond the object. The manipulation of images, sounds and text seeks to evoke the sensation of transcending time, exploring the relationship between art and temporality.

Aesthetically, the choice of images and sounds from specific eras seeks to capture the essence of each period, while the arrangement of text on the canvas follows design principles to maintain visual harmony. Conceptually, the work immerses itself in the idea of ​​the artistic experience as a time journey connecting with the notion of art as a performative act, as proposed by Inke Arns.

The artistic references of the work include movements such as conceptual art, where interactivity and viewer participation are fundamental. Likewise, the aesthetics of collage and montage are incorporated, inspired by the works of Simón Marchán Fiz and Toni Simó Mulet.

The work also reflects on the relationship between art and technology, based on the concepts of art-science and the war between science and humanities, as proposed by Philip Galanter.
