Ken Okiishi’s Being and/or Time consists of every photo and screenshot recorded on Okiishi’s phone over a period of three years (2013-2016), flickering in chronological order at 24 images/frames per second, with over 25,000 images in total. The compression of existence in the digital/IRL era, when the body was required to be as if everywhere at once, finds its recorded time-image. The artist made the work in a period of total cognitive breakdown, in a process Okiishi has described as “attempting to re-enmesh externally stored image-memory with the internal experience-memory of the brain.”
