Full size prototype based on studies about how we perceive time, and how we can use this knowledge to manipulate time
As humans, we experience time between the seconds of the clock.
Inspired by conceptual art such as Duchamp where he creates a new definition of a meter, I try to show the different definitions of time, and let people experience them.

The tunnel on the left represents Chronos, the time divided by seconds. As linear as can be.
The tunnel on the right represents Kairos. This is how we perceive the time hidden between the seconds on the clock.
The tunnels are based on proportions from Roman architecture and are equally long. The difference is the spacing of the right tunnel. This has been done in such a way that walking through it seems to speed up, and slow down time. It also gives the opportunity to see "trough" the seconds represented by the other tunnel.
