Location : Sickhouse
Stratum is an electronic sculpture referencing the design of an antenna tower used for receiving data from satellites. This critical interface points to the imposed paradigm of a unique synchronized time, retrieved from atomic-clock-carrying satellites orbiting around the Earth. It reflects on the question of what determines our temporal reality when we passively rely on standardized technologies of time measurement and distribution.
This speculative artwork employs various types of GPS antennas and receiver modules, connected to microcomputers, displays, electromagnetic microphones and speakers, to reveal those aspects of time infrastructure that usually are invisible or hidden.
