Multiple temporalities are at work in On your wrist is the universe: the time of the saccade to the wrist; the time of rocket bodies tumbling above; the time of planets completing their trips around the sun.

This project thus asks us to consider the relationships between our development and construction of electronic poetry artifacts and the much longer timeframes involved when contemplating the universe.
