Traveling Exhibition

Concept as “exploration”

The concept of this exhibition is “exploration” through the world of diversified time. The show will invite audiences to depart from their daily concepts based on time measurement, and to discover new world of different “time” which exists in life, on the earth and in the universe.

Reference

Exploration of TIME! features various concepts of time with diverse perspectives.

Focusing on time viewed from life science, the exhibition will illustrate an internal sense of time, such as DNA’s body clock, heartbeat of animals, and the relationship between life cycles and planets. Along with the core theme, there are interactive exhibits of time “illusion”, the idea of the light-year, relativity theory, and other scientific issues, which will raise questions about the uncertainty of accurate time to visitors.

Collaboration with researchers and artists

Exploration of TIME is organized in collaboration with scientific advisers from the Research Institute for Time Studies, Yamaguchi University. Plus, designers, artists, and musicians collaborated with scientists and researchers to create this unique exhibition.
