I was looking at a website called ‘Spiral’ the other day. The website, which I created a year ago, was about time, but time didn’t seem to have left any trace on it. I started to think about how vague the notion of time actually was in the digital world. Unlike in the real world, where the passage of time is still palpable even beyond the reach of clocks — for example, I have to sweep away the dust in my room every week — everything in the digital world appears fresh and new.
 What if there were also dust in the digital world?
