Bertrand Russell was a philosopher who developed the "five minute world philosophy." This philosophical stance argues that it is possible for the earth and everything man knows to have materialized within the past five minutes.
"from the earth; that it is a hot globe many times
bigger than the earth; that, owing to the earth's
rotation, it rises every morning, and will continue to
do so for an indefinite time in the future. I believe
that, if any other normal person comes into my room,
he will see the same chairs and tables and books and
papers as I see, and that the table which I see is the
same as the table which I feel pressing against my arm."
"Suppose the earth were created five minutes ago, complete with memory images, history books, records, etc., how could we ever know of it? As Russell wrote in The Analysis of Mind, "There is no logical impossibility in the hypothesis that the world sprang into being five minutes ago, exactly as it then was, with a population that "remembered" a wholly unreal past. There is no logically necessary connection between events at different times; therefore nothing that is happening now or will happen in the future can disprove the hypothesis that the world began five minutes ago." For example, an omnipotent God could create the world with all the memories, historical records, and so forth five minutes ago. Any evidence to the contrary would be evidence created by God five minutes ago. "

This philosophy is really interesting to me because it manipulates the well known and trusted idea of time and a real-time narrative between the past, present and future. What if all this is created five minutes in advance and five minutes prior to the present? If this were proven, would people change? When you think of time as though it will be determined in real-time, you start to think about the present more than either the past or the future.
Relates
This concept of "five minutes" relates to my concept because I am making videos in which something is persisting for a five minute period of time. There is a clock or other measuring device evaluating the subject and timing itself simultaneously. The amount of time becomes important thematically, as well as conceptually because it is in a sense, benchmarking the subject's actions and timing the video as well. The specific time relates to modern technology in that, five minutes is a benchmark duration between convenient/fast and long-term. It is used in this situation to measure a subject that is affected by the passage of time and whose existence, in a certain physical state, evolves or crumbles.
