The Art of Time (2009)

In contemporary culture we are often told that 'time' as we have experienced it historically is being obliterated by the speed and acceleration of our technology-driven society. Many artists, writers and creative practitioners in various fields feel that the work they make contests this process. 'The Art of Time' asks: how are leading artists and thinkers responding to today's new and rapidly changing world? It captures some of today's most exciting developments in the art of time, exploring how leading international practitioners in architecture, video art, film, theatre and philosophy are challenging traditional temporal ideas, questioning the nature of memory and perception today, and inventing new and radical notions of Time.
