The isotope neptunium-237, a byproduct of nuclear fission, has a half-life of 2.144 million years.
Linguists estimate that after 10,000 years at the latest, all languages spoken today will have no recognizable relationship to their roots. ¹
Homo erectus, the first hominin species that could walk like a modern human, appeared about 1.8 million years ago. Neanderthal man lived between 230,000 and 30,000 years before our time.
The oldest cave painting in the world is 45,000 years old.
The half-life of plutonium 239 is 24,100 years.
247 zeptoseconds are needed for a photon to fly through an atom in a hydrogen molecule, this is the shortest time span ever measured.
One zeptosecond corresponds to one trillionth of a billionth of a second.
In 237 we deal with time spans, phenomenon and hyperobjects ² that are beyond our perception, life spans and imagination. Global warming is one example. If we could zoom out far enough so that all the events involved came into our field of vision, then we could perceive them as traces of frozen movements ³ - as an object that penetrates all the people involved, absorbs them and makes them part of it. An object of millions of years, which far beyond our horizon can not end.
A time ray - a 30 meter long sound sculpture - surrounded by a dome of loudspeakers opens a discourse on different perceptions of time, objectification of time and immersion in relation to man-made phenomena in our environment such as global warming, or radioactive waste.
In the exhibition, various generative acoustic processes can be heard through 61 loudspeakers, some of which last far beyond the exhibition's duration.

² “Global Warming is perhaps the most dramatic example of what Timothy Morton call “hyper objects” - entities of such vast temporal and spatial dimensions that they defeat traditional ideas about what a thing is in the first place.” (Morton, Timothy 2013: Hyperobjects - Philosophy and Ecology after the End of the World)
