For the second time, I had the opportunity to experience Heat in the atrium of the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk. I am always a little surprised by the people who film and take photos. What about the moment of experience? My way of enjoying the moment without a smartphone: scribbling, drawing, inking, sketching, and caressing, 60 seconds per moment that flows.

The earliest to problematize time/the present was Zeno of Elea (5th century BC) with the arrow paradox: if time consists of timeless points, movement seems impossible. Aristotle systematically summarizes the problem of the “now” as a point-like boundary. In the Latin tradition, Augustine famously and pointedly formulated it: the past is no more, the future is not yet – strictly speaking, only the present “is,” but without extension (Confessions XI, ca. 397/98).

In modern times, William James (1890) named the experienced window of presence the “specious present”; Husserl explained its structure via retention/protention (Lectures on the Phenomenology of Inner Time Consciousness, 1905).
