Their research centers on time in hypermediated environments, where images function as reality's driving force rather than mimetic representations. Through analysis of Japanese cinema and photography from the 1960s–1980s, 20th-century critical theory, and cybernetic paradigms, they develop a critical phenomenology of "expressing time" that generates resistance against technological manipulations of space-time. This work critically engages Cold War-era system thinking and storage media's historical evolution.
