notime: building a community of people with no time

by Victoria Vesna - When thinking about online community, I decided that the most interesting people are those who do not have time to be online. On the other hand, audiences in museums spend an average of 30 seconds in front of an artwork! So, my challenge was to create a physical piece that assumes a fast visit and calculates the time spent there -- starting with a tetrahedron that is the information body of someone who would be known locally. The more time spent looking at their data, the more evolved the "body" would be. Online, we created a screen-saver that would evolve when you are away from your computer.
