What's it going to be
1. a time device that breaks with both linear and progressive models of time.
2.
"Time device"?
- device that measures time
- device that structures a certain flow or rhythm of time
- device that remembers or stores the flow of time
Ideas
Memory as mechanism
("Memory" as in cognitive perspective)
+ false memory
Flowchart as temporal interface
can flowchart be a time device?
can a flowchart be redesigned as an interface for some kind of memory reconstruction?
accepting the non-linear structure of memory, could flowchart be adapted to reflect its recursive, mutable, shifting structure?
↳ like an interface that changes itself based on memory recall...?
Research
Terminal
“The terminal is a command-line interface(CLI) That allows users to interact with a computer’s operating system by executing text-based commands. Commands are executed sequentially and often logged with timestamps, making the progression of system time visible. The terminal also includes tools that interact directly with time, such as querying the current time, modifying timestamped logs, scheduling future tasks, and analyzing historical system activity.”
Deep Time
Deep time is the concept of geological time that spans billions of years, far beyond the scale of human experience. It provides the temporal framework for understanding the formation and evolution of Earth, the development of life, and the slow-moving processes that shape planetary change.

Data Extractivism
APC definition:
The massive extraction of user data by private companies such as Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, often without appropriate privacy checks and protocols. This collection of data – a form of surveillance capitalism similar to the extraction of raw materials and exploitation of labour in colonised territories in the global South that enriched states and companies based in the north – is then used to sell content and advertising back to users, crippling the openness of the internet and its usefulness for building democracy and social justice. APC's concern with extractivism extends to all forms of the extractive economy that operates in the production and use of ICTs(Information and Communications Technology), including the extraction of raw materials and the impact of this on local communities.
