adim Fishkin’s upcoming accomplishments include “A SPEEDY DAY 2” for the Slovakian pavillion at the Venice Biennial and a book with onestarpress. His web site has this description of his installation “A SPEEDY DAY: The light in the room is changing according to the “fast clock”. On its electronic display time is running in its own “fast rhythm”. “Daylight” and “nightlight” follow one another to the rhythm of the “electronic clock”. For example, 24 hours are “passing” in 12 minutes. If we were on a hypothetical rocket moving away from the Earth at a speed of 299,782 km/sec (which is only 10 m/sec slower than the speed of light), these 12 minutes would become the “day” of the “earth clock”. Several different options could be calculated based on several different “speeds”. The speed of the “clock” is calculated with the formula: t = t0/(1 - v2/c2)1/2.”
