I wanted to explore my personal experience of time within the consumption of psychedelics. It is a universal experience of percepting time extremely slowly although the mind at a regular pace, known as time dilation. Why is that so?

Time feels boundless and insular simultaneously. I feel like I have lived only 1 second and 20 lifetimes at the same time. Along with other factors making me feel this way - temporal distortion is a fundamental linked to our thinking during this experience. I am very lucky after each of my "trips" it is a reminder of gratefulness of the present with this time of 'self'.

Time dilation is the difference in the elapsed time as measured by TWO clocks, which in these case, is our perception and measured time. This idea touches the theory of relativity.

When we say "time is slowing down", it is because we are comparing it to our 'measured' subjective everyday clock. What if we are constantly living at faster momentum? What if we lived in the 'inbetween' of those two clocks. Rovelli's Order of Time explores the fluctuation and indeterminancy within time and how the past - present - future is blurred.

I created a camera effect on TouchDesigner illustrating the time between times. With a delayed effect I explore the idea of slowed down time compared to actual. Currently I use a webcam to show this effect but maybe can dive more into this with other imagery.
