Time-Based Systems

Workflow C

Image sequences rather than single frames. Delay, lag, and persistence give the system visual memory — and temporal misalignment becomes meaning.

Concept

  • Sequences let interpretation stretch across time.
  • Delay and persistence are compositional tools.
  • Misalignment between moments is a subject, not an error.

What does delay, lag, or persistence let the work remember?

Student activity

  1. 01Plan a sequence of 3–5 frames and decide what persists between them.

Tools for this loop

Runway

Consumer AI video and motion with a free starter tier of credits. Used for Session 2's time-based, sequence, and persistence experiments.

Not started

Generate or transform a short sequence, then describe the temporal behavior you observe — delay, drift, persistence. (Free credits are limited — plan a few generations.)

External tool — it has its own privacy policy and may change or require an account.
