Universal Now (2007)

Shot during several late night walks, Universal Now consists of 4 temporally offset, nearly identical video sequences stacked as 2D planes in 3D (red/cyan anaglyph) space. Because of this sort of structure, there is no 'present' or 'now' within the context of the piece.

…simultaneity is relative. There is no universal present moment at every point of space. Events occurring at spatial separations which cannot be connected by a light signal cannot be assigned a particular chronological order which is the same for all observers in all states of motion. So one of the characteristics of the mental 'now' - that all people everywhere are experiencing the same now - is an unjustified extrapolation. There is no universal now, but only a personal one - a 'here and now'.
