 I KILLED TIME  plays with repetition and difference, liminality and associative relationship under the umbrella of time.

​The layered projections and overlays on the television feature non-invasive monitoring techniques emphasizing how time moves through one while exposed to different stimuli, paired with the looming nature of time informing and dictating our bodies, and our gaze.  

The sound design is a reactionary instrumental improvisation devised from a collection of voices speaking the phrase, “only time will tell” which was supplemented by recordings of instruments housed at the Anarchestra, a providence based collection of instruments created by music theorist Andy Thurlow.
