TIME TRAVEL

The Search for Time Travelers

This is a site that searches for Time Travelers.  As performance artist we have been involved in this for ten or more years.  Included are documents from the time travelers from the year 2422.  This search is currently active (as of 2005) with ongoing Time Rebel raids.

THIS PERFORMANCE IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.  IF YOUR GROUP PERFORMS IT, I WILL PUT A PAGE ON THE NET.  SEE THE PROJECT RULES LINK BELOW AND THE AFTERTHOUGHTS LINK.

HISTORY OF TIME TRAVEL SEARCHES

We did the search for time travelers several times.  We would raid places like McDonalds, Denny’s etc.  That was one type of the searches.  Four places around Dayton (I think).  We also performed at the Cleveland Performance Art Festival and raided a gay bar (because it was near and the owner said we could)  On this raid there were strange sounds on the tape recorder.  When they are played at half speed you can hear “Jack, Jack, 2422”  I started to translate it and heard “don’t translate until 2006” so I didn’t.

To hear 17 seconds of audio from The Cleveland Performance Art Festival go to this page.  It is a .wav file and will play three times when you get to the page.  audio95.htm

The GOTO performance where Matt Geeting died was a séance type.  A lot of people participated in this one.  After he was found dead I never opened the file again.  So I don’t know what is on the video/audio tapes.

We also transmitted one performance over a Honduran  rebel radio station.  In case they were picking up radio waves from the past.

We also (the one that Mandee and Rob) participated in had a computer constantly running numbers each tenth of a second and let the computer pick the poetry performers and when they were going to perform.  The video tape that Mandee is talking about has a large black form moving toward Rob.  Actually there were two video cameras.  One had it and the other didn’t.

Btw with the restaurant performances we ran through them dressed strangely.  One person a nun another a lamp etc and yelled “the sky is falling”  Also held up signs that said “The sky is Falling”

We also had to get publicity so the time travelers in the future knew we were looking for them.  That is the reason for the press.  Everything was video taped and we saw things (people) that no one remembers in the restaurant.

I plan on reviving it in some form next year.  Including offering internet people a chance to participate.  You should join the Industrial Culture Performance Art group on MySpace if you are not already on it.

I posted a reply to the MIT question.
A couple things I didn't put in it (because I got tired of writing) was that the tenth of a second on the running computer was recorded and we looked for a glitch but I didn't find one. Also others (anyone) can hear the "Jack, Jack....." on the tape
A soviet physicist claims that he has sent audio (Mozart or something) back into the past. It was on NOVA.
The McDonalds raid was recorded but nothing but audio was on the VHS. The recorder had never failed before and never failed since (no! the lens cap was not on).
The McDonalds raid had a CB radio transmitting to my base station about a mile and a half away. I had it recording but I could never find the transmission on the tape.
The Cleveland one was held just across from the basketball stadium and our performance was moved up because another performer didn't show up. We went to the gay bar just when the game was letting out with many many people on the street.

The GOTO 2422 performance  http://www.performanceart2.com/bowman/time/time/  This is a performance art piece that we did in October of 2000.  It was a séance type of performance were we attempted to call time travelers from 2422.

I reopened the GOTO 2422 performance file after five years.  For information go here

This is a method of time travel that you can experiment with at home. You can stop time with it and slow time with it. How to Slow and Stop Time. This shows you the shape of time and proves that it exist. Time is not as we have been conditioned to believe.  Click on the image to the right.

Space and time  in a previously unknown (prior to 2006) and totally new light is located on this Mother site www.RedQueenPrinciple.com

It appears that time travel and evolution are somehow linked.  In a space time continuum that we don't understand.  The Red Queen Principle is an evolution principle that essentially states that we have to keep moving to stay in the same place.  Here is a link to an illustrated Red Queen from  Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland."  http://members.tripod.com/~jackbowman/SuperCode/jqueen.htm  


MIT held its Time Traveler Convention May 7,2005.  For more information http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/ 



During a sub performance (October 2005) a backward running clock read 9:11.  When searching for time travelers we look for the unusual.  For more information 911clock.htm
