Annihilation of Time and Space

Video Presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa_VUrys0j8








Muybridge's inventions along with other technological advancements open up the door to a so called modern world which we are living in today. Past hundred years of struggle to understand and control time and space has given us the consciousness and the ability to envision ourselves and our world and how it should be operated. A world which has been long dreamed and desired by so many. In Past hundred years, means of communications and transportation has not only been transforming our perception of time and space but also affected us in a way that we seem to becoming part of this phenomenon and controlled by its effects. As much as we tried to grasp time, time has grasped us. We have prevailed the spacial limitations but we still lack its actual experience. Our world has become more deceiving than ever due to the amount of information and their manipulations (to the extend that we now have lost the track of time once again).I think as much as we owe Muybridge and other frontiers for their ambitions to bring us knowledge and wisdom, we owe ourselves to be more aware of this transformation. It is our due to retrieve what technology has obscured inorder to be able to grasp time once again as Muybridge did years ago.
