 == '''Playback - Where Past and Presence Dance''' ==
-'Playback' is an outdoor sound-installation, which opens up the topic of time as a non-linear concept; all time happening in the same moment - in the present. This philosophy of understanding time is for example widely spread in the 'buddhist' world-view. The installation does not intend to argue that this aproach to the nature of time is the right one. It only tries to open up the mind of the participants to other - fundamentally different - concepts of understanding reality.

+‘Playback’ is a sound performance/experiment. It investigates changes in the atmosphere of a place, when  it gets confronted with its past.
+Influenced by buddhist philosophy and different conceptions of time, ‘Playback’ aims to open the listeners mind to investigate their perception of sound and time; and the relation between both.
+Furthermore it is a journey to lead the mind into the awareness of its surroundings.

+Conceptually this project talks about the influence of the past on the perceived presence of the present moment and what happens if past and present are not clearly distinguishable. Through this, ‘Playback’ questions the accustomed view and perception of time as a linear and absolute concept. In this conceptual dissolving of the perception of time the installation leads the participator into a meditative state where past and present morph into each other. This can happen naturally when the mind drifts into a state of trance, for example by perceiving monotonic sounds. The world of thought is brought into the foreground of perception and the mind is confronted with its own more or less hectic patterns. The participant's thoughts and emotional patterns, created in the past, are now confronted by being held in the present moment. Just like that the space is confronted with its own past. Through this process the participant becomes aware of the interplay of esoteric and exoteric sounds, their different perceptions of time, as well as their relationship of their physical body and the surrounding space.
