Collision is a projection mapping installation that invites viewers to rethink their relationship with time in today’s digital age. Using evolving visuals, we explore the ways technology and social media distort our perception of time, accelerating our days and merging moments into a continuous, often overwhelming flow. Through this experience, we encourage viewers to confront the effects of this distortion and restore a sense of genuine human connection.

Set against the architectural features of the buildings: El Furniture Warehouse, Original Joe’s and Annabelle’s Kitchen on Stephen Avenue, our visuals evolve and pulse, conveying a sense of movement that mirrors time slipping and bending around us. We blend physics-inspired effects with an evocative soundtrack that synchronizes with the visuals, creating a layered sensory experience. Each element of Collision urges the viewer to pause, reflect, and consider what endures amidst the rush of digital life.
