In Your Time (TFAM Edition)
A monumental evolution of the original concept, this edition of In Your Time was commissioned by the Children’s Art Education Center of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum for the exhibition Finding Time. Standing at 150cm, the work adopts the presence of a traditional longcase clock, yet its rhythm remains entirely modern and personal. By pressing a fingertip to the integrated pulse sensor, the individual synchronizes the clock’s pace with their own internal heartbeat. In the context of the museum, the scaling of the piece transforms time from a private, digital readout into a shared, physical phenomenon. Time is not merely a metric to be read on our wrists, but a rhythmic proof of our existence.
專為北美館兒童藝術教育中心的「Finding Time 時間在哪裡」展覽特別打造的 In Your Time 大型版,採用了傳統長座鐘的尺度,作品高達 150 公分,將時間的份量感放大。透過將指尖按壓在脈搏感測器上,使用者能使鐘擺的運作與心跳同步。在美術館開闊的空間中,尺度的放大將時間從私人的數位讀數,轉化為共享的現象,並讓觀者藉由時間節奏體驗一種自身存在的證明。
