1.when/who/what did you one hour ago? It's about mix people's answer of this question and mix people's pic together. I want through this explore the meaning of time. like Alan Lightman said 'suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself. The world repeats itself, precisely,endlessly.' I am still working on re explore the meaning of time.
2. Someone you know but do not really know. This is an experiment between the author and some friends, who were asked to provide their passport photo. The reason for choosing passport photos is because they are the one symbol of people facing the public, cold and dignified. People are usually familiar with the photos of friends on Facebook or other social websites in this generation, but these photos are chosen by them, being how they want to show themselves to others. And the Internet and computer change the meaning of 'save the history of time' because every text in chat all became the documents.
3.Photographs always stay within their time, and these are the photographs taken by me when coming to London. When people take a photo, it becomes an image, and the real world has already changed. When they see it as an old photo, it is no longer simply an image, but relates to history, time, and personal feelings. In high school, I began to take photos of the surroundings, and the motive behind this was a feeling of preserving life. I was supported by my father in doing this, especially when I took photos of my mother and grandmother. It is normal for people to use photos to remember particular moments. In the my opinion, successful photographers have the ability to control an image to remind people to imagine the story behind the photograph. This ability enables the viewer to have a special image of a context when seeing the photograph, which demonstrates cause and effect.
4. 'The Diary' is about photocopying dairies like ours, recording the history of time on paper. It is about personal history.
5.The initial idea for 'time is money' came from transitional Chinese words, but David sent an email saying that someone had already used this concept as a social communication in the real world.
People do not only use money to make transactions, but also time. Otherwise they are not transactions, but merely an exchange. Anything humans do is time-consuming, and since human life is limited, their lifetimes are reduced every day. Nothing is the same as time in the consumption of a second. Time is always reducing. It never increases.
This people project may significantly resolve the issue of lack of care for the elderly in cities. These are people who need to be looked after, but sometimes they have no family around them. In another aspect, there may be a problem of safety, because it is completely based on a personal credit system and a degree of social stability.
The project seeks to explore the element of the permanence of time, and wants to enable people to realise that time disappears with every second by means of an experimental test.
There is no doubt that this is a piece of paper. It is neither money nor time. In the first place, money cannot be made, and in the second, neither can time. This project about extra time and fake money is meant to make people renew their awareness of time.
Initially, the idea was to provide some words to tell people what they should do when they get extra time, and ask them to send their ideas by email. However, this idea was discarded because it was felt that it would not enhance the way in which to express the concept.
