What is time to a computer is a live-coding-based performative lecture that reflects on the gap between the perception of time by humans and computers.

The lecture is situated within a terminal emulator environment, which acts as a bridging interface between the human operator and the computer’s operating system. Using archival video snippets, custom Python scripts, images and visualisations, the lecture playfully yet critically addresses various layers of computer-time definitions and concepts, tracing digitalized time back to hardware technologies, corporations and their mostly male representatives.
