Screen Time
An essay for the Window Research Institute redefining screen time through the lens of art, architecture and photography, where the representation and construction of windows transform them into analog screens, published in 2023
“Screen Time” is the first of a two-part publication for the Window Research Institute, a foundation based in Tokyo, that examines how our daily pace of life is accelerated by the constantly scrolling, digital landscape that binds us together. The essay investigates how screen time has historically reflected the way we receive and distribute information and today, is an inescapable condition of viewing. The representation and construction of windows as screens in several works across art, architecture and photography, however, promote awareness in our interaction with screens, positioning the passage of ‘screen time’ as a poetic, temporal and spatial layering.
