WHAT IS SEVEN?
Seven minutes. What is seven minutes.
What can I do in seven minutes.
How do seven minutes feel.
What is seven minutes? What can I do in seven minutes? How does seven minutes feel?
Time is an invention, yet it remains a significant part of our lives. As part of the assignment to self-design a facet of myself, I became intrigued by the notion of truly understanding what time feels like.
In my quest to enhance my time awareness, I undertook daily tasks lasting exactly seven minutes. I chose seven minutes because it represents the longest 'short' duration between 5 (which feels too brief) and 10 (which feels too lengthy).
Displayed as a dual-screen installation, visitors are invited to test their own perception of time by attempting to gauge when seven minutes have passed, while simultaneously observing and listening to me completing various tasks for seven minutes each, showcased on a separate website.
Although none of my seven-minute sessions precisely aligned with the clock's seven minutes, they all felt like seven minutes to me. After all, the perception of seven minutes is subjective, defined by our individual experiences.
