Awareness of the problem of time at
so many levels of society has grown stronger in the 21st century. Changing
rhythms, immateriality, global networks, artificial intelligence, are affecting
the way we approach, measure, share the representation of time.
Starting from Jonathan Crary's essay 24/7. Late Capitalism and the End
of Sleep (2013), which has become an exhibition at London's Somerset
House in 2020, the idea of a non-stop world has affected art and design, too.
The course Time Design examines the theme by drawing on critical texts, artistic
proposals, and reviews, with a historical look at some of the design highlights
of the last decades and critical insights into the present, also with the help
of invited expert lecturers.
