CARBON DATER

'Time is the water that we exist in like fish. You might say it's oxygen, but I think time really is our element.' - Bill Viola 

“Carbon Dater is a black diamond-tipped carbon pen for writing and illustrating directly into glass… for carbon dating. Specifically – A .30 carat black diamond set in milled brass claw, fixed to a hand-tooled lazer-engraved inanimate carbon rod, presented in an inked 247-piece hinged cardboard box.”Images and text courtesy Sruli Recht

Albert North Whitehead: Concepts of Actual Occasions

Events create times and space. Whitehead foregrounds the eventness of perception. Events of perceptions are always brought about through prehensions, the pulling out of expression from the durational plane of experience. When a becoming-event is pulled out, the activity of perception is experienced. The perdension creates the parameters for the taking-form of space-time in the context of discrete experience.
