How do you express time without numbers or watch hands?

Clocks abstract time into a measurable, uniform process. The human experience of time is, however, not uniform: Some events seem to take very long, while others appear to happen too quickly. This experimental app lets users experience how human time evolves. To capture the human perception of time, the app starts with strings of time which expand into colorful, abstract forms. These time strands develop slowly, but occasional sudden topological changes (bifurcations) happen where new shapes get defined quickly.
