Time

I am currently reading 'Thinking in Time', an Introduction to Henri Bergson. Presently I am considering the position of thinking about time as a mechanistic model, or alternately within the context of duration. This work may facilitate how I might begin to think about and subsequently write about Theory and Practice at the intersection of Animation and Fine Art.

I am beginning to consider time as spatialised time-line of points in space, ordered numbered and placed in space in opposition to time as 'becoming'.

I am also considering the importance of the laws of nature in relation to Thermodynamics, in particular entropy, as having a one directional flow, as in 'the arrow of time'. It could be said that the universe is in a constant state of entropy (state of decay)and that this is a lived experience of the world, in opposition to the virtual digital space that is eternal, and reversable. Much like a mathematical formula, t= can be reversed spatially.Therefore the virtual may be likened to the mechanistic.

Therefore Time, duration and entropy are central themes to the theory-practice work at this time.

I need to clarify this line of thought but may use this starting point as the foundation for presenting a research paper at Wolverhampton or London SAS conference in March
