Thursday, October 15 2009 “In the sun that is young once only Time let me play and be Golden in the mercy of his mean” - Dylan Thomas, ‘Fern Hill’ Please register your attendance beforehand through rsvp[at]impakt.nl (indicate your full name and contact details). Lunch and coffee will be available at the venue. Contemporary science and technology have made possible a temporality which -although still based upon clock time- has exploded into countless different time fractions and speeds beyond human comprehension. Today we seem to live in several time zones at the same time, propelled by a variety of internal and external time mechanisms and innumerable rhythms which continuously vibrate, resonate, connect, oscillate and disconnect. How to grasp the temporal complexity that surrounds and occupies us? What sort of ecologies of time and speed have we developed under the influence of new technologies and what is their impact on our body and senses? This conference brings together a number of international thinkers who offer new perspectives on our contemporary experience of time and speed.
