Forward, breathless, progress, unquestioned, 24/7, acceleration, high-speed, intensity, instantaneous, pressure.

The project ‘Unlearning Time’ addresses our current time-crisis and the feeling of ‘no time’.

Free yourself from the boundaries of clocks and calendars and open up for new ways of understanding and using time. Smash the clock–it’s time for ‘Uchronian’ thinking.
