TEMPORAL NOISE

When time becomes too loud

Introduction

Can time become noise?

What happens when time speaks so often that we stop listening to it?

Do we really need a small moment of temporal silence?

We usually think of time as something abstract or invisible, but today it constantly signals us what to do, when to react, and how fast to move.

Between these lines, you will find a journey that attempts to better understand time in our lives, preparing you to face its noise, the temporal noise.

This journey explores how our contemporary environment is filled with time signals: clocks, notifications, reminders, countdowns and how this constant exposure changes the way we feel, experience, and understand time. It looks at the moment where time stops guiding us and starts overwhelming us.

But why is it important to discuss this topic?

Because in everyday life, time no longer feels neutral or quiet, it feels loud, fragmented, and demanding.

ZigZag Booklet

I chose a ZigZag / accordion booklet as the final format.

this format limits speed and scrolling, so the reader must physically move through the content, creating pauses.

This format directly supports the concept, it resists acceleration instead of reproducing it.
