Time Obstructor – A Milestones Observatory

This article presents several ideas about Time as a perception of reality and how once added to a model of perception in action art, it could be obstructed by some factors called time obstructors, thus making it possible for new observations about the process, mechanisms of creation of the “here and now†and their structures in “real-time†. The problem observed is that Time is a constant, and the plan becomes a problem when it is part of the creation of time-based media art. Specifically, this article poses the idea of an obstructor of time, basically by doing a link-bridge between the development and then when the current action happened. The use of -anticipation- and -selective router- makes the concept of observation possible. The novel temporality obstructor makes it useful to modify behaviors, change goals, and complete tasks related to the actions planned as well as connect with the model of analysis of action art based on the factors: context, sense-making, efficiency, effect, attractors, sensitizer, activators and now the temporality obstructor.
