In this paper I discuss the theory and actuality of the effects of Time Dilation, as predicted by
Einstein’s Special Relativity. Alongside this the research investigates the visible, experiential
effects of most personal form of Time Travel from a personal, phenomenological perspective,
illustrated through digital media.
The body of work, this paper and an accompanying book of modified digital images, recalls the
Hafele-Keating experiment of October 1971 and parallels the Quantified Self experiments of diary
photography and personal analytics in a holistic, interconnected way.
The work tracks 12 months of air travel and illustrates with practical data the physics and
mathematics behind the theory and actuality of Time Dilation. The research combines the
interdisciplinary worlds of Computer Arts with Data and Scientific Visualisation to create a tangible
collision between the visualisation of the personal and illustration of theory
The observations are documented in ethnographic, photo essay illustrations as an investigation
into the mathematics and physics of personal and interpersonal time. Using situated imaging
presented as a practice-based body of work to communicate the abstract world of very small time
periods and the direct relevance of Einstein’s work on the personal and perceptual world we
inhabit. Contrasting Newtonian mechanics and Einsteinian space-time the work seeks to illustrate
the personal nature of how the reality of time travel influences every aspect of the interpersonal
Time dilation. Time travel. General relativity. Special relativity. Visual thinking. Photography. Visualisation.
