Appreciation towards Studio Echelman for providing the following description:

艺术家Janet Echelman的“地球时间”系列雕塑作品旨在让人们意识到人类彼此之间，以及人类与我们所在的星球之间的相互联系。地球时间1.26 Jeddah坐落在吉达海滨的全新艺术长廊上，自落成后已持续展出至2022年4月，项目由文化制作人兼艺术收藏家Swizz Beatz发起，本作品可以说是这项雄心勃勃的创意项目的重要组成部分。

Janet Echelman’s Earthtime sculpture series heightens our awareness of our interconnectedness with one another and our physical planet. Earthtime 1.26 Jeddah is installed on the new Art Promenade along the Jeddah waterfront Corniche through April 2022 and is part of a new ambitious creative project by the cultural producer and art collector Swizz Beatz.

该雕塑作品由无数交织在一起的纤维组成，象征着人与人以及人与地球间千丝万缕的联系。每当绳结在风中飘动，与其相连的绳结也会随之一起舞动，雕塑的形态不断产生着变化，暗喻了人为造物屈服于自然之下，而自然的力量是我们人类无法控制的。为了打造出最完美的雕塑形态，Echelman与其工作室以及各方跨专业人士紧密合作，包括：建筑师、设计师、模型制作人员，航空和结构工程师、计算机科学家、照明设计师、景观设计师，以及搭建团队。

The sculpture serves as a symbol of interconnectedness, composed of countless intertwined fibers. Each time a single knot moves in the wind, the location of every other knot in the sculpture’s surface is changed in an ever unfolding dance of human-made creation with the forces of nature beyond our control. To create the sculptural form, Echelman works with teams both inside and outside her studio. These include architects, designers, and model-makers in the studio, as well as an external team of aeronautical and structural engineers, computer scientists, lighting designers, landscape architects, and a fabrication team.

在Echelman的工作室内，地球时间1.26Jeddah的物理形态是由数字建模的，其灵感来自一组描述某次地质事件的科学数据，即，2010年智利的地震与海啸，该次地震在全球范围内引发了涟漪效应，甚至加快了地球的每日自转。作品名字中的数字指的是时间的度量，代表了地球一日的长度缩短了1.26微秒。

Inside Echelman’s studio, the physical form of Earthtime 1.26 Jeddah was digitally modeled with inspiration from a scientific data set describing a single geological occurrence — an earthquake and tsunami in Chile in 2010 — which caused ripple effects around the globe and even sped up the earth’s daily rotation. The number in the title refers to a measurement of time, as the earth’s day was shortened by 1.26 microseconds.

雕塑的制作从编织定制工程纤维开始，同等重量下，这种纤维的强度是钢材的15倍。定制的彩色麻绳由织布机和手工编织而成，每根绳子都代表了拥有数百年历史的工艺技术。该装置艺术作品以当今的城市尺度诠释了古老的手工工艺，将过去与现在紧密联系在一起。

Sculpture fabrication begins with braiding custom engineered fibers which are fifteen times stronger than steel by weight. These custom-colored twines are knotted both by loom and by hand, and every rope is spliced using centuries-old craft techniques. Connecting the past with the present, the artwork takes ancient methods to a new urban scale.
