@AbstractTruth … that they visited the natural history museum so regularly also aligns with some things I wrote about On Kawara’s work in my thesis — which is nice and affirming 🥰

@AbstractTruth There’s a beautiful cadence between the work of father and son (conceptually and as an activity)

Hey Folks!
I’m starting a new project for an upcoming exhibition and am looking for some variable measurement data sourced from you!

If you have 5 minutes (and a measuring tape) — please send me as many measures as you can! Thank you!

@sarablue's self-portrait for @LonelyRocksArt

I have spent YEARS trying to recapture a photo ID I had in my 20s in which I looked genuinely alarmed and FINALLY I’ve #nailedit

[Seriously folks, it was the best ID I’ve ever had… why project glam when you can choose terror?]

FIVE RECENT THINGS - https://t.co/cITDnjOl8P

It was extraordinary to have time become a moving target with behaviour that was external to visual experience — I had to hold time differently (both within and outside of myself) — recalibrating every word and action through this invisible filter

[sara morawetz @sarablue]

In 2015 I spent 37 days (36 Martian sols) living on time as experienced on Mars –– it felt exactly like this (right down to the two wristwatches) ⏰⏰

This NASA engineer lives on Earth but works on Mars time — where the days are longer. Her work with the rovers there has entirely changed the way she thinks about time on Earth. https://t.co/XONSTp8V0L

[sara morawetz @sarablue]

@brontoCORus @NPR They have to be awake when the rover has sunlight –– so the time on Mars supersedes time on Earth

[sara morawetz @sarablue]

@AbstractTruth @NPR This is exactly what Mars Time felt like (I just did it for art instead of science) ❤️

@jjvincent Thanks! I've been waiting for this ITU conference for as long as I've been waiting for the next leap second... they (and the Earth's rotation) are testing my patience

[sara morawetz @sarablue]

@jjvincent I've been waiting on this decision for a while... https://t.co/Xzh1Ga6mBb

Spotted at the Palais de Tokyo — still feels surreal to find this out in the wild

I’m delighted that Metric Units for the Solar System [Metronome] will be shown as part of ‘Promise the Earth’ opening on Saturday at @thelockupartspace — curated by @izkusstvo and @runningdog_art

[sara morawetz @sarablue]

Our measure of time is an expression of Earth and its imperceptible motion; as the planet rotates slowly beneath us, so do our clocks turn. The second is our smallest unit within this system, historically defined as 1/86400th of a day — /1

[sara morawetz @sarablue]

It asks how might we understand time if it were defined by alternate properties? How would our experience of time shift if the agency of its measure was centred elsewhere? /5
