The No Time Machine

The No Time Machine created by Daniel C. Howe and Aya Karpinska uses a program to take various phrases from the internet that have either the phrase or variations of the phrase "I don't have time for" and puts them in an animated setting with music behind it.

Of all the things I have looked at for these blog postings, this has stuck out more to me than almost anything. Perhaps it's because I am more attracted to animated visuals, but this piece hit me. I am definitely a person who turns around and says I don't have time for things. While I was watching the phrases go by I came to the conclusion that while, yes I legitimately busy a good portion of the time, that I do make excuses for things as well. One of the phrases that appeared more than once, though worded differently each time, was something along the lines of the idea that people will say they don't have time for things when really they're just not interested in that thing in the first place. My only complaint about this piece is the music they had going. It's possible they were trying to prove a point, but it gets really old really fast. I had to seriously force myself to sit and watch more of it. Other than that I think the piece is very interesting and eye opening.
