Two Times
This project explores the relationship between mechanical time and bodily rhythm through experimental typography, motion, and material play. Inspired by a movement-based workshop using Random Actor and an excerpt from Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman, the work translates physical gesture into abstract visual systems. Laser-cut acrylic letterforms in neon pink and orange were used as both typographic elements and drawing tools, traced repeatedly to generate dense, oscillating forms that reference pendular motion and early digital visualization techniques. These analog experiments were documented and layered into a frame-by-frame animation in After Effects, combining video, photography, and drawn marks. The resulting piece treats repetition and play as generative methods, positioning process, movement, and uncertainty as central to meaning-making.
