New: AnotherSideOfTime.com 2012

AnotherSideOfTime.com is my new piece commissioned for the Malta Contemporary Arts' travelling project Parallel Borders curated by Mark Mangion. 
On the website we see primitive geometric shapes that create a perspective infinite trail. While moving the mouse colored shapes resurface on top of other shapes marked also by repercussive sounds emerging something like mega-structure. 
For me this gestural composition  "portrays" a different perspective of time. Nowdays spending time online under the flickering lights of our screens, we establish a twisted relation with time. As post-modern philosopher Paul Virilio puts it in his book Lost Dimension:  "…pure computer time helps to construct a continuous present an unbounded intensity that is destroying the tempo of our degraded society [..]". 
In this mindset I would say the internet is an outsized invisible monument or even  I would call it a monument to an ever-changing present, a materializing force that no longer separates but unravels new realities …The web mega-structure unfolds inside Athens historical site(s) in a unified spatial conquest.
