What is time

to a computer ?

(2025)

Live A/V performative lecture

Duration variable

Color, sound

This live-coding-based performative lecture reflects on the gap between the perception of time by humans and what time represents at the level of computational processes.

 

Using the terminal emulator as an explorative tool for entering this problematics, the lecture scrutinizes different layers of computer-time definitions and concepts, tracing the digitalized time back to hardware tools, companies and their mostly male representatives.
