Chronoanaptoscope (Realtime Slowmotion series)

The term "Chronoanaptoscope" is derived from the Greek words χρόνος (chrónos), meaning "time," and ἀνάπτω (anáptō), meaning "to unfold" or "to expand," combined with the English word "scope," indicating an instrument for viewing through it. This device splits a single timeline of reality into multiple parallel timelines, extending them and displaying them simultaneously. By observing these parallel timelines, the viewer can mentally reconstruct time, allowing for real-time observation of the spatiotemporal details and structures of motion in the world around them.

Chronoanaptoscopeとは、ギリシャ語で「時間」を意味するχρόνος(クロノス)と、「展開する」「拡大する」を意味するἀνάπτω(アナプト)と、それを通して見るための器具を意味する英語の「スコープ」を組み合わせた言葉に由来する。この装置は、現実のひとつの時間軸を複数の平行な時間軸に分割し、それらを引き延ばして同時に表示する。これらの平行した時間軸を知覚することで、鑑賞者は精神的に時間を再構築することができ、周囲の世界の時空間的な細部や運動構造をリアルタイムで観察することができる。
