Combining huge data sets with decades of images captured by NASA and European Space Agency satellites, EarthTime brings to life patterns of natural change and human impact. To date, the Earthtime 1.8 sculpture has been installed in: London, UK (2016), San Diego, CA (2016), Mexico City, Mexico (2017), Beijing, China (2017), Xian, China (2018), Green Mountain Falls, CO (2019), and Perth, Australia (2021). EarthTime enables users to interact with visualizations of the Earth's transformation over time.

Titles within the Earthtime series sometimes refer to that numerical measurement of time. The earth’s day was shortened as a result of this physical event and the length of time measured in microseconds. Its form is a manifestation of interconnectedness – when any one element in the sculpture moves, every other element is affected. They measured the change in wave heights of the ocean’s surface as they rippled across the entire Pacific Ocean following an earthquake which originated in Japan in 2011. They explore the contrast between the forces we can understand and control with those we cannot, and the concerns of our daily existence within the larger cycles of time.Įchelman’s studio modeled the physical form for Earthtime 1.8 using a scientific data set about how a single geologic occurrence in one part of the world had ripple effects all over the world. The Earthtime sculptures seek to heighten our awareness about the way we are all interconnected with one another and our physical world. Between June 28th and July 24th, 2021, Janet Echeman’s Earthtime 1.8 sculpture will be exhibited in the Supreme Court Gardens in Perth, Australia.
