Project Presentation
1024 sequences of 2 seconds video of irreversible change are rewinding. Recorded reverse time ticks forward on audience mind in real time.
For good (or evil), the time never return.
Looking irreversible change in rewinding direction is never implemented by real-time processing because of its impossibility of inverse operation.
If the real-time-ness we perceive in this world could be accentuated by realizing “Now and Here” is transient in the history of the universe, isn’t it the essence that the movie you saw today doesn’t look the same as same movie you saw yesterday?
