Berliner Technische Kunsthochschule / MA Media Spaces _"Time Space Experiment" Project, which my keywords were "Time - Mechanics - Frame".
Inspirations from Hans Richter and all Dada films, Man Ray, Einstein, Saussure, Peirce and the Semiotics Theories and The Zeitgeist concept. And, of course, Marcel Duchamp's "Anémic Cinema" (1926).
These three elements presented through the Semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce and his Pragmatism: Icon, Index and Symbol. The Icon, here, is the Duchamp’s discs. The index is the traversed way, people and cars. The symbol is in the streets, represented by traffic words, lights and asphalt painting. These are the basic visual elements of mechanics. The semiotic representation of time and frame is insert when mechanics is linked with them through the speed and the displacement, resulting in different perspective views and time perception.
