A minimalist animation exploring abstract temporal concepts through visual rhythm and motion
Timer is an experimental animation project exploring the visualization of time through abstract visual elements. Using a minimalist aesthetic, the work creates rhythmic patterns and flows that evoke the passing of time in a digital environment.
The project utilizes a range of visual techniques to represent time:
This project was created primarily using Adobe After Effects, employing procedural animation techniques to create a sense of mechanical precision while maintaining an organic flow. The work explores the tension between digital precision and human perception of time.
The animation investigates how time can be represented visually through motion, pacing, and visual metaphor. By stripping away narrative elements, the project focuses purely on the abstract qualities of temporal experience, creating a meditative visual rhythm that invites contemplation.
This project was created by Serkan Sökmen, a digital artist and creative technologist whose work spans animation, generative art, and interactive installations. His artistic practice frequently explores abstract concepts through minimalist visual language.
