Summary

At least since Einstein's theory of relativity and Bergson's conception of duration, and especially since the advent of personal technology such as the iPod and the cellphone, we have been aware that the modern experience of temporality is continually in redefinition. Published on the occasion of the DEAF 2000 festival in Rotterdam, Machine Timestakes a close look at the role of time in the constitution of our technological reality, investigating temporality through a variety of formats--interactive image manipulation, sound performances and virtual environments--in art projects, stage events, essays and interviews. A sequel to The Art of the Accident(1998), Machine Timesincludes essays, interviews and projects by Francisco Varela, Detlef Linke, Isabelle Stingers, Peter Weibel, Perry Hoberman, Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, Helga Nowotny, Woody Vasulka, Eduardo Kac, tx-transform, Atau Tanaka and several others.
