The installation Conversation on Time for the Resonances III Festival invited visitors to reflect on the idea of time and how our perception of reality has changed through Big Data and associated new technologies. The idea of time in science is compared with three Greek concepts of time (Chronos, Kairos, Aion). In a multi-screen projection, the installation approaches the idea of time from three different directions: human time, earth time and universe time. The installation contains a film about the concept of time for which artist Maria Rebecca Ballestra edited a poetic text, expressly created for the project by the UK poet Mario Petrucci, a Big Data visualisation, and a text by JRC scientist Nikolas Stilianiakis.
