When Jewish-French philosopher Henri Bergson investigated society’s conception of time and history, he investigated new ways in which our experience of the past, present and future might be communicated. In the BBC radio segment In Our Time, Professor Emily Thomas refers to his theories on time passing, speaking of Bergson’s conception of perpetual perishing presence. This exhibition explores the porous temporality of the digital sphere, the physical and psychological affects engaging with information mediated through a virtual realm, and the mercurial, almost entropic nature of data circulation. Waiting for a signal: treading through reams of erratic code, scanning for a steady point on the horizon. c3 Signal’s second iteration plays with the notion of PPP, imagining a slippery presence in order to look at new ways of connectedness, the mutations of images and collisions between place and time.
