What you see here is actually the second version of TimeWorks. The original version took shape as a walk through, experiential installation at the Evergreen State College gallery, in the Spring of 1994. TimeWorks was my undergraduate thesis work at Evergreen, one year in the making. Please read the walkthrough description I have written, if you are interested. A number of people who saw the original TimeWorks installation hoped that I would make a book version which they could have and look at, at their leisure. I worked for some time trying to find a method of cheaply producing a book version of the show, which I could send to these people. I began to explore computer based methods of publication, such as Hypercard and HTML, partly out of fascination with the media, and partly because it was possible to produce something with a very nice "look and feel" without breaking the bank on expensive paper and printing processes. Of course, the drawback to publishing on the Web is that there are still a relatively small portion of people who have the equipment and the knowledge to access the work. Perhaps I will end up making that paper version after all... Jeremiah Moore, Denver Colorado, August 1995

Tom Maddox, a wonderful "literary generalist" helped me lay the conceptual groundwork for the installation. He was particularly helpful in that he encouraged me to read and read and read, without giving much thought to structuring my ideas until I had a very thorough understanding of the subject matter.Paul Sparks, a sculptor, filmmaker, and conceptualist, helped me structure my ideas and deeply consider my modes of presentation from the concept level all the way down to the screws and plywood level of the final plans.
Terry Setter, a composer, musician, and sound-worker, oversaw the actual construction of the hard (fabricated boxes, pedestals, sound chambers) and soft (audio and video tapes, slides, etc..) components of the installation.
Peter Randlette, an electroacoustic composer and musician, is the head of Electronic Media at Evergreen. He helped me to keep the project on the ground, so to speak, so that it wouldn't become too conceptual and lose its accessibility. Peter also helped me explore various technical possibilities, within the constraints of available budget and equipment.
