Néle Azevedo's Melting human figures in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham, UK (2014) are an example of temporary art. Ephemeral art [1] is the name given to all artistic expression conceived under a concept of transience in time, of non-permanence as a material and conservable work of art.
Transient (astronomy), an astronomical object or phenomenon of short duration; Transient (civil engineering), any pressure wave that is short lived; Transient (computer programming), a property of any element in the system that is temporary; Transient (oscillation), a short-lived burst of energy caused by a sudden change of state
Damped oscillation is a typical transient response, where the output value oscillates until finally reaching a steady-state value. In electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, a transient response is the response of a system to a change from an equilibrium or a steady state. The transient response is not necessarily tied to abrupt ...
This period of time is known as the transient state. A capacitor acts as a short circuit immediately after the switch is closed, increasing its impedance during the transient state until it acts as an open circuit in its steady state. An inductor is the opposite, behaving as an open circuit until reaching a short circuit steady state.
The ephemeral nature of Granite Plateau Creek on the Mawson Plateau means the creek is usually a series of waterholes The travelling festival Burning Man was described by one scholar as the "very definition of ephemerality".
Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a neurological disorder whose key defining characteristic is a temporary but almost total disruption of short-term memory with a range of problems accessing older memories.
The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.
A transient fault is a fault that is no longer present if power is disconnected for a short time and then restored; or an insulation fault which only temporarily affects a device's dielectric properties which are restored after a short time. Many faults in overhead power lines are transient in nature.
