Installations intersect interactive concepts of Digital Musical Instruments, composition, and sound design. They require a design that is intuitive and impactful while also empowering the audience to perform with ease. One cannot build an installation successfully that involves a manual or practice. It must work in a straightforward manner, it must be simple and it must also enhance the connection of the audience with the material at hand. Considering aspects of user experience are important, ultimately the focus needs to be on musical interaction.

On 4, 5 and 6 April 2019, space:time presented time:crystals.in the Dhoby Ghaut Visual Arts Centre, Singapore. While normal 3D crystals comprise patterns which repeat only in space, time crystals repeat in time as well as in space. In physicist Norman Yao’s words, time crystals are “intrinsically out of equilibrium, unable to settle down to the motionless equilibrium of, for example, a diamond or a ruby”. This inspired a group of eight passionate art practitioners to create six new works in, on and around a new 3D installation entitled Line Segments.
