Abstract
Time as duration, as a unit of measurement of duration, as a natural unit to express the depiction
of individual moments, phenomena and events, has constituted a philosophical and scientific
challenge to humanity. The conversion and organization of the notion of time into a visual form is
a continuous experimental process. This study presents a theoretical and historical overview of
the depiction of time, and addresses the visualization of duration from analog to digital form, and
the everyday, commercial and conjectural mapping of time by analyzing specific audiovisual
examples from a theoretical and visual-arts historic perspective. Through philosophy, religion,
fine and applied arts, as well as modern audiovisual communication, various ways of signaling
time are selectively presented and discussed.
