Space is where everything starts. Be it the real, virtual, acoustic, imagined or what could possibly lie behind it. Bundled matter in which anything is impossible; the infinite number of digits between 0 and 1, lukewarm areas, the possibility to see everything in intervals, to take attitudes, to convey perspectives and directions. Time is what makes things perceivable. Be it memories, short durations, long instants, coincidence or an apparent theory of everything.
