aVoid Time Indicator
Our modern time indication
method is a relatively new invention thrust upon the history of time keeping.
Not since the Romans invented the modern Latin numerical numbering system can
the present day clock exist. As a modern society we depend so much on counting
the hours, minutes and seconds of our existence it seems the fear of our
inevitable death begin the day we learn how to tell time. We have become the
slave of such accurate quantitative measurement that we have forgotten about the
vast variety of time keeping methods invented by civilizations before us. My devices
created here are not an accurate display of modern numerical time indication.
You can find them everywhere from your cell phone to your fridge. They are
design/sculpture that help to remind us of what time can be; where time is
not a unified methodology and how we can
enjoy time without considering all the numerical impositions on our day and
night. We should see time as a method of life’s evolution and not as a
limitation of our existence. Please enjoy a few revolutions on alternative time
telling methods!
Time is not a two dimension indication that
we see on clocks and watches. It is the fourth dimension in physics and
represents the third dimension in the evolution of life on earth. We as human,
seems to fear time as much as we are obsessed by it and we live our day
counting the seconds. I want to slow down your time. I want you to look at time
indication in a new light. I want you to be less concern with the minutes and
the seconds but judge the act of time telling as an art form. In the birth of
any human we instantly begin to move through the inevitable end of the life
tunnel. This journey is guided by experience, fate and circumstances and we are
also restricted by time. I want to design a clock that shows this tunnel of
life as wells as introduce the observer of how time is a 3 dimensional entity. Using
a centre structure carved with 12 LED(light emitting diode) embedded grooves, a
high reflection mirror is clad over on both front and back. Each of these
grooves represents an hour and as night falls, they will illuminate one by one.
This process is in reversed during the daytime and what this entails is that
when it is midday, the device will seem to be a simple mirror with a hole in
the middle, very 2 dimensional in aesthetic. As night falls and natural light
frails, the illuminated hour grooves will consecutively light up until midnight
when the entire structure is covered in a very 3 dimensional illuminated pattern.
This duality of flatness and volumetric play are in stark contrast with our
natural conception of time indication: where daytime is illuminated and night time
is represented in darkness. I want the user to understand time indication is
merely a pre-conceived rule by the human society and it does not have to be
static as most believed. I want the user to observe time and not be intimidated
by its speed and finally I want the user to embrace the journey of life and not
be too concern with its obsession of time.
