Tempo Radicale is a site-specific multimedia installation by Ultravioletto, presented during TUTTA BASE, a 36-hour event at BASE Milano. The artwork transforms a large post-industrial hall into an immersive environment where light and AI-generated visuals explore the dual nature of time: its measurable, geometric flow and its organic, unpredictable vitality. In alignment with the 2025 curatorial theme Making Kin, the installation invites visitors into a space of connection—between human, non-human, and more-than-human entities. Two opposing yet interconnected environments unfold: one where beams of light, in constant motion, trace 129,600 seconds across the room, making time visible and structured; shrouded in darkness and interrupted by flashes of light, the space becomes a sensorial meditation on rhythm, growth, and interdependence. The installation becomes a sensorial meditation on connection: an architecture of time that listens to the pulse of life.
The other environment revealed a mycelium network in constant transformation—pulsing with natural intelligence and expanding through images of the ecosystems it sustains. As in the AV live performance Mycelium, a real-time AI-generated video depicted this living web growing, branching, and evolving.
