SPATIAL TIMES

‘Spatial Times – Inside Virtual Architecture’ investigates innovative ways to perceive and represent 'time' within virtual reality.

Unlike the physical world, where time perception is intrinsically tied to solar rhythms - daylight, seasonal changes, and astronomical cycles - virtual reality operates independently of these external influences. This presents a unique opportunity to rethink and redefine how time can be perceived and, subsequently, how it can be indicated within virtual spaces.

Selected projects were exhibited as part of ‘Beyond The Clock’ by HEAD – Genève at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire, in collaboration with the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.

Under the direction of Simon Husslein, with the assistance of Chiara Kocis and Alexandra Miskufova.
