In this phase of the project, ephemeral typography is used to induce people to feel the weight of passing time, with its flow symbolically interrupted by halting the traffic.
This typographic performance was only recorded by taking screenshots ofthe images transmitted by a public webcam (showing the iconic AbbeyRoad crossing) onto a computer.
As this medium displays one “real-time” image every 4 seconds, a fraction of second seems to be extended for the length of time necessary for the image to be refreshed.
Using a public webcam to display a message also considerably broadens its audience.
