Thanks Edward!
My gut tells me that the mechanical/digital time reinforces one tendency
in our organisational minds (one that also allows us to be corralled and
managed en mass) at the expense of lizard, carnival, dreamy, drifty,
mythic, gifty, witchy mind.

Ruth -
Great pictures from the show, and I really like the online version of
your piece too - the two frames one above the other, and the red
indicator mapping out the progress of the video down the right-hand
side of the web page.
Interesting what you say about mechanical time as opposed to natural
cycles - the sun, the moon, the tides, the seasons and so forth. But
mechanical time/digital time is an expression of what's already going
on in our minds, I think: the mapping-out, dividing-up, analysing and
manipulation, not only of time but everything else, that gives us a
measure of control over our environment, but only a measure, and at a
price.
