The installation was inspired by the research paper “Time Adaptation Shows Duration Selectivity in the Human Parietal Cortex“ (2015), which explores how the human brain adapts to repeated exposure to specific time intervals. The study reveals that the parietal cortex, particularly the inferior parietal lobule (IPL), demonstrates selectivity to these durations, influencing our perception of time. This adaptation alters how we experience temporal frequency, creating an elastic sense of time that can feel condensed or expanded depending on prior stimuli. Notably, the research highlights a key distinction: while temporal repetition produces neural adaptation in the IPL, repetition of non-temporal aspects of a stimulus, such as shape, does not. This finding emphasizes the unique neural processes underlying time perception, which are echoed in the mantra-like journal entries and the interplay of fluid, shifting projections and shadows within the installation, creating a meditative yet dynamic exploration of repetition and time.
