OBJECT
Events occurring over time may be difficult to perceive as a whole, possibly because the temporal window they occupy is very large or because they don't draw our attention. Presenting time sequences as an image, subjectively available in a single moment of time, provides a means of displaying temporal patterns. Presenting a time-image as visual poetry rather than as scientific visualization engages imagination rather than analysis. Time erodes all we prize but the ordinary survives. In imagination, time moves in unexpected directions.
