The project started in the fall of 2002 with the writing and editing of texts. Picking through the work, I looked for texts that illustrated aspects of the themes of mediation and cultural conditions. The first public stage of Time Travel in this Moment involved live Internet broadcasts featuring guest readers. The broadcasts took place from EMMEDIA in March 2003. The readings were used as the basis for most of the videos created for the project.

I believe that each person’s impression of the world now comes from a small percentage of direct life experience while witnessing media feedback forms a far greater percentage of the ‘known world’.

The physical world and the condition of its inhabitants are constantly recharted. Records can be found on the Internet, in newspapers, magazines, and in books. Images and words lay it all out. Television bends reality into digestible consumption. Yet, the deeper the probe, the muddier the water. As marketing pushes the spectacle to greater heights, the outtakes become more difficult to recycle. We know that there are two ends to every spectrum. In major centres, the social divides are more obvious.

In the Time Travel project, I talk about the world that is brought to me through electronic media and how it echoes back into my daily world. I witness those around me acting out their moments in time, it is the same world in which I witness and act out my own moment in time. When not receiving electronic messages, I know how I feel on the streets.
