of-pixels by Richard Schwarz (http://elia-artschools.org/festival/work/ofpixels) raises the topic of time. Time is a fascinating thing. Every moment consists of time and we would not exist without it (or at least we can't comprehend what we would do if there weren't any flow of time, for there is no doing without time, every action has a duration). Time is in a sense the only real currency each and every one of us is given and we must spend it wisely.

And on another note: why does time flow forward? If I remember correctly, there is no valid explanation for why time should only flow in one direction. As far as physics is concerned, time might as well go backwards. But we all know it doesn't (although we might feel like it does from time to time).

Time (in it's not so existential sense) has also played a very important role in the history of art. Firstly obviously because there would be no history without time, but what I really meant was the role time has been given as a judge. One of the safest ways to determine good or great art is to see what perseveres through the trial of time. Wait a minute (ah, again with the puns), but time does not have any real consciousness now(or at any other moment for that matter), does it? It does not make any decisions, You say? Well who or what does then? We, the people? All right, making sense thus far, but who exactly? The Ministry of Culture? Artists themselves? The audience? School curriculums? Or is it all a bit random? Hmm, getting trickier. Oh well, maybe time shall reveal the answer.
