Epoch


Epoch - a moment in time chosen as the origin of a particular era.

I have been researching the theory of time and how it is represented and measured. There is a system called the unix time system which is used for computing systems. The clock started counting at the Unix Epoch which was the 1st Jan 1970. Since then every day is 86 400 secs. Each date since the Epoch can be represented as a decimal number.

Ive been considering how every persons life is its own era - happiness is not a destination but a journey and everybody's journey is mapped differently. The map is defined by life changing events, which are all moments in time. What if each of these moments could be expressed and celebrated graphically?

Your own epoch started the second when you were born and your clock starts counting..
