Pace Investigations No. 3
An Evolving Manifesto on Time
• Time = experience
• Time = change
• Time = the experience of change
• Time exists in the present moment
• “The past” is not time
•“The past” is the present remembering of occurrences
• “The future” is not time
• “The future” is a fabrication of present thought
• Time can be organized into 4 states: organic, mechanical, embodied and perceived
• mechanical time = an invention to organize organic time
• organic time = rhythms of the body and the spatial environment
• embodied time is one’s own understanding of organic time
• embodied time cannot be shared
• perceived time can be shared
• pace is the expression of embodied time
• perceived time is the collision of multiple paces
• perceived time is a ground for empathy
• perceived time = temporal measure
• perceived time often surrenders to mechanical time because it surrenders to social interactions
• embodied, organic, and perceived time are elastic
• mechanical time is not
• Time is a liminal abstraction
