The Digital Time System diagrams are part of a broader artistic research focused on time in the post-digital era and the ways it is produced, controlled and distributed. We do not usually perceive time as part of the technological environment, on the contrary, time appears to be something immaterial, unquestionable and neutral. This work points out that in an era when digital technologies have penetrated every area of our lives, time itself is becoming a technology of the digital realm.

​​

The research is presented in the form of two diagrams. The first diagram describes the material nature of digital time while posing the question: What does it actually take for a time information to appear on our screens ? This diagram critically approaches time as a technical construction sustained by networks of extraction, computation, synchronization and control.​ Time may be perceived as something abstract and immaterial, but in reality, there are complex infrastructures built for defining, maintaining, synchronizing and distributing time. Besides analyzing the socio-political infrastructures that operate towards controlling time, we can try to understand the digital time by looking at the material infrastructure and technologies that sustain it.
