Abstract:
The present work approaches different definitions of time, going through the objects of time described by Kevin Birth (2012) and artistic works that directly discuss the theme of ‘time machines’ (JP Accacio, 2017; Andrei Thomaz, 2014; Daniel Buzzo, 2017). The need to look at biological time stands out. For this purpose, we resorted to chronobiology, an area of biology that investigates the temporal dimension in the relationships of organisms and the environmental roles of temporal adaptation. This article also starts with Luiz Menna-Barreto’s Internal and External Temporal Organizations (2005). Regarding the different temporalities observed in the arts, we dedicate special attention to the synchronization modes.
