Time Slip

Time slip is a visual artwork that displays current event news on its page.  It is similar to the on screen or public display of news tickers one might find on t.v.  Created by Antoine Schmitt,  Time slip constantly updates news up to the minute, but displays it in such a way that in an oracle type fashion as if it was foretelling future events.  With no special effects of any sort, Time slip just delivers its message, or news, in white text overlaying a black background. 

Time slip updates with all the real news but it changes the tense of the selected news from past to future tense.

I think that this is a work that relates to humanity's constant obsession with end times, post apocalyptic events.  All Humans fear the end, wether it is the end of the world or their lives.  I believe this piece sort of builds on our fears of natural and man-made disasters.  once you go to the site, you get an eery feeling.  It's amazing what a change of tense could do to recent reports or past headlines.
