Inspired by Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time, this interactive artwork explores time dilation—how gravity alters the speed of time. Time slows near sea level and speeds up at higher altitudes. Walking across a topographic floor, your music speeds up and slows down. On the wall, your own piece of sky is shifting from day to night, dictated by your time. By transforming an abstract physical phenomenon into an immersive experience, it challenges our idea of time, revealing its personal nature.
This work was made under the supervision of the Timebased and Interactive Media department as part of the Deep Space course.
The work time moves faster in the mountains will be shown at IC @ Ars Electronica 2025.
