Waiting Room is a collection of research objects which interrogate the nature of contemporary time. It imagines a scenario in which two competing temporalities—one which lives to the predictable cycles of dawn and dusk and another which eliminates all time zones in order to maximise economic gain — produce a third, Sumtime, where life is not ordered cyclically or linearly, but instead experienced as chunks or blocks of repetitive action. Tasks are binged for themselves, without reason or agenda. They are done to excess, without worrying about efficiency or profit. They are done at any time, without recourse to the sun, the stars, or the arbitrary oscillations of a caesium atom.
