Time Sifter is a viewer-controlled environment immersed in visuals and sounds that plays on the theme of the time machine in the digital age, and suggests a journey in time through motion, place and sound. A totem pole shape, composed of sieves/screens, is both the mechanism and the metaphor of sifting time. Each sieve flips around the x-axis (initiated by the viewer.) With each flip the video's content changes so the viewer has control on re-creating the environment, the video sequences and the narrative.
Time Sifter aims to evoke a discussion on time and space in the digital age.
