2a Construct and install a still
life that will change over two weeksí time. This project may be conceived
for either a public or a private space. It should not be moved during the
time of its transformation, and it should be designed with attention to the
constraints and conditions of material, temperature and weather, movement.
Photograph the still life at least 4 times per day and construct a timeline
with the images. 2b Keep a diary that records your observations of the transformation of the still life. The diary should be self-contained, bound and should include pictorial and written elements. It should be a document but it should allow the embellishment of its truths. It should be beautifulóitself an object that occupies time because it inspires its own observation (observation-observed.) Model Title construct a timeline with the images.

3a Based on your diary for #2,
create a montage. Your montage will present a time-composite (time and
narrative in one space) whereas your diary presented a time-progression
(time and narrative changing from page to page.) Pay close attention to your
choice of materials and objects, scale, composition, texture, image.
Everything you include should have meaning; nothing should be arbitrarily
placed. 3b Using Flash, make an interactive version of your Box. Emphasize the relationship of layers, hidden elements, object transformations and tempo relative to the meaning-system established in the Box.

# 4 Time Map |

4a For one week, carefully
observe yourself in time. In one book (that you make or purchase), keep
track of everything you do, everything you think: chart your life and the
kind of time that characterizes and runs it. Take note of fast time, slow
time, time that flies, time that stands still. Register patterns and
activities and thoughts and experiences but do so with temporal awareness.
Begin to create a system of codes and symbols that organize your experience.
Uber-documentation is the key hereóyou must be a fanatic during this week of
intense self and time-awareness. 4b Create a canvas 80î square. The material for this canvas is up to you, but you must choose it for a reason. On this canvas, create a complex diagram that is, in essence, a time map/chart/calendar of your week. The diagram should have an overall schema (an organizing principle or form) and a multitude of general and specific categories, marked by the codes and symbols you created. A cartographic key may or may not be important. The diagram should allow macroscopic and microscopic readings and should be sufficiently layered, both formally and symbolically, to invite extensive study and tracing.
