Inspired by Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time, this interactive artwork explores time dilation—how gravity alters time’s speed. Time slows near sea level and speeds up at higher altitudes. Walking across a topographical floor, your music slows down or speeds up. On the wall, your own piece of sky shifts from day to night dictated by your personal time. By transforming an abstract physical phenomenon into an immersive experience, it challenges our idea of time, revealing its personal nature.
