For ‘While the Hour’ Dr. Time will install a ‘Human Time Museum,’ a collection of artefacts from human history in an effort to map, chart and make … Continue reading ““Human Time Museum” – Eddie Harran” Public Meeting (and free WiFi) Thursday, February 23 6pm – 7pm Testing Grounds, 1 City Road, Southbank You are invited to attend a meeting of the Nonhuman Stereo Network. The meeting will provide you with tools for increasing the density of your present moment, without the usual hassle of having to also increase your moment’s … Continue reading ““Non-human stereo network” – Kit Riley” Temporal Chain of Connection asks what our common relationship with time is, and how it could shift. Humans have the potential to create new connections, new patterns of behaviour and relations with the world and each other. What strategies and experiments could bring about this perceptive shift? For ‘While The Hour’, Cassandra will have three … Continue reading ““Temporal Chain Of Connection” – Cassandra Smith” (a drawing & research project). Time is slippery.

Every now and then, this contraption moves – a bat will fly into it, a rock … Continue reading “The Clock” Roynae Mayes engraves ruminations on deep time into stones. These stones are left about the site of Testing Grounds, these stones are gifts to passers-by, these stones make their way into the surrounding environment to be stumbled upon by some aimless wanderer.
