Concept

Clockwork of Perpetual Present presents an analogy between the "illusion of time" and the optical illusion contained within the clock. As in other works by Nourathar, it emerges from the encounter between the physical and the virtual. In this way, it reveals the capacity of technology to build our conception of the world, based on the conditioning of perception.
