The Moment

It is the moment when the signified is seen. The signified instead of the signifier. The moment which is hard to keep and hard to reflect upon. The moment when we take time to think. The moment of a calm reflection. It might seem that this moment is always present at hand, that it is not being constantly denied or taken, carried away. But in that case we are not approaching anything because we don't want to be approached. In other words—recognized as the ones who are actually taking their time to think, and not just being taken by time. But then, what is time?
Before trying to answer this question, let us allow the possibility of an idea of "technological time."
This text for me as an author is a way (or one might be tempted to say "a practice") to trace the existence of this time, and at the same time, to acknowledge the ability to reflect about and withdraw from it.
To b.c.
