Since the
topic of the competition is the phenomenon and meaning of time, we tried to
envision it in the physical form. The
object metaphorically represents the manifestation of time as flexible
continuous and infinite loops that always repeat throughout history. We see
time as a line that starts simple, evolves into a complex system with lots of
connections and interlinks, timelines interact and continue being influenced by
the previous collisions. The seat that the lines hold represents the
interdependence of components and a symbol of a balance and functionality of
time as one universal system. We see a lot of potentials in playing with this
duality, linearity and connections.
The
flexibility is taken further from theory into materiality and construction
technique. It is made of standard plumbing pipe 4 cm in diameter. We tie the
pipes with ordinary plastic tires in order to get maximum flexibility and
mobility of the object and also to reach the form that never repeats itself.
The design
solution proposes that the object is literally built out of space it occupies
and is flexible to changes as it has no terminate state but, on the contrary,
continuously develops.
