Time And BodyMind Bender: Illustration

Duration: 10 days

​

In collaboration with the masters students of Illinois Institute of Technology (Foundation Design) we worked on a conceptual research project that needed to be illustrated and visualised. 

​

The role required to understand the research requirements and points to be highlighted and showcased.

This project imagines a future world where the capitalist-ableist culture absorbed by its desire towards control, precision, and productivity develops hyper precise bionic timekeeping aids that reshape all life form. ‘Timebends’ are manifested by bodymind benders called Zingibers, providing rebel Pico-oids shelter from the oppressive regime of time.

Crip time (n)

“Crip Time requires reimagining our notions

of what can and should happen in time, or

recognizing how expectations of ‘how long

things take’ are based on very particular minds

and bodies...Rather than bend disabled

bodies and minds to meet the clock, crip time

bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and

minds.”

—Alison Kafer, ‘Feminist, Queer, Crip’

​

Crip time (v)

“Disability and illness have the power to

extract us from linear, progressive time

with its normative life stages and cast us

into a wormhole of backward and forward

acceleration, jerky stops and starts, tedious

intervals and abrupt endings.”

—Ellen Samuels, ‘Six Ways of Looking at

Crip Time’

Food for thought

  1. What are the common assumptions about time and timekeeping that are enforced on us in our daily lives?

  2. How might we crip time in our day to day life? Or is that an effort in futility?

  3. How do clocks and other tools change perception of time?

  4. What relation does speed have to time?

  5. What relation does space, place and culture have to time?
