Icastic Visualizing Time

Another old project, Visualising time elicits people’s visual images of Time.


Interesting that the age-groups of the contributors are segmented in a linear fashion: 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, etc.   Though I am fond of the benefits of linear treatments of time, here there would be a good case for non-linear, on the basis that the differences between, say, 4-year-olds and 9-year-olds are much greater than between 14-year-olds and 19-year-olds, let alone 44-year-olds and 49-year-olds.

This attempt to gather and segment representations of Time is reflected in a recent RCA project by Flora Bowden and Dan Lockton for Suslab with the V&A to elicit drawings of Energy.
For that project, see Drawing Energy and Drawing Energy and Powerchord at the London Design Festival 2014
