2030seconds

2030seconds is a contemporary multimedia art project and platform that centers on time-based media. The project takes its name from the fixed duration used for its core works, each lasting 2030 seconds (33 minutes and 50 seconds) and designed to encourage focused attention and reflective perception. It presents a rotating collection of audiovisual pieces, interactive web-based installations, and live events created by an international group of artists, designers, and musicians who participate under a collaborative framework.

Originated in the mid-2010s, 2030seconds emerged as a loose collective dedicated to exploring how duration shapes memory and perception. Works typically combine ambient soundscapes, archival or found footage, generative visuals, and minimal narration. While each piece stands alone, the shared constraint of 2030 seconds gives the project a cohesive temporal identity across varying media.

Format and access: Releases appear on the project’s official site and select digital platforms. Some pieces are presented as linear 2030-second videos, while others are modular or interactive, allowing viewers to influence pacing or sequence within the same time boundary. The platform also hosts online events and collaborative residencies that invite contributions from practitioners in related fields.

Impact and reception: 2030seconds has been discussed within contemporary art and experimental cinema circles as an example of how strict duration constraints can shape form and viewer engagement. It is noted for encouraging patient viewing and for integrating sound design with cinematic imagery in a compact time frame.
