LET’S MEET AT 3 O’CLOCK
— Another Uniform Time Act
In Let’s Meet at 3 O’Clock ICA visitors are invited to borrow and wear artist-altered analog watches during their visit. Wearers will enter a conceptual time zone in which watches run twice as fast as current time. This shared experience amongst participating visitors examines the power of altered time to influence the movements or perceptions of the wearer.
This project extends Noor Nuyten’s interest in structured systems such as time, language, and movement, and echoes Steven Holl Architects’ use of altered time as a concept to guide the building’s design.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU AS AN ARTIST?
In which field can you find unregulated free expression? Art can prompt you to ask questions, doubts, imaginations, advocates freedom, and gives voice.
DO YOU BELIEVE ART HAS SOCIALLY TRANSFORMATIVE POWER?
Art can have socially transformative power on many levels, artists but also viewers can find a voice through art. It advocates freedom. Art can activate, enrich and direct imagination. The power of imagination cannot be underestimated, on a micro but also macro level. It is the thing which distinguishes human from other species. One of the key’s of art’s socially transformative power is imagination.
We live in a backward-looking society. We are backward looking because we have all personally experienced the past. When we look around us, we see the evidence of the past everywhere we look. The past is very knowable. And yet we will be spending the rest of our lives in the future. Art is in this future, it is forwards-looking. This ‘forwards-looking attitude’ can be a seed for socially transformative power. Through art we can understand who we are, where we are, or more appropriately, when we are.
