Abstract for Idea 3.

Technology metaphoric as a wormhole, hypothetical tunnel (Maccone, 1995) connecting two different paradigm of time, like a time machine intertwine the past, the present and the future in a linear experience of time.

With the invention of mechanical clock in the thirteenth century inaugurated a new representation of time which embodies a homogenizing representation of time and place. (Lorenzo, 1995) Technology giving us more time, rendering us closer to being perpetual, by minimizing the time needed to achieve a goal which allows us to take time for granted and “rendering us less vulnerable to what occurs in time, to the vicissitudes of time” (Lorenzo, 1995).

At the current state, new media art are mostly embodied with digital technology. There are ways of managing knowledge and visualization in image culture, and in cultures deeply affected by the use of digital technology (Chiu,Chih-Yung,2006). Art in the age of digital in “new technological form such as photography and cinema, have already raised questions about art”(Stephen, 2002). Art has reproduced; reinvent to create new contexts and purposes. Meaning and technology are forced to interact with each other.
