Time in Motion

A comparative study of subjective time perception

Ongoing research investigates the relationship between design and the subjective perception of time based on external sensory perceptions. Which visual sensation can „extend“ a moment for us and which one can do the opposite? Is it possible to gain control over perceived time? Two video loops simulate conflicting atmospheres in a fictitious Prague subway car C and ask the question which of the two journeys takes longer.

The project is a continuation of  Petra Hurai’s dissertation research thesis Experience of Time and key findings of the research are summarized in project catalogue:

 

Two video loops are presented for the first time at Designblok Prague 2024 as a teaser for a more elaborate laboratory testing in regulated environment. The experiment with a pool of respondents will take place in Bratislava in cooperation with STU’s MX lab.
