Wether it be on a bus ticket, mini bank statement or shop receipt the presence of the printed time and date are all consistently featured. I am interested in how this documentation of a specific time and date can be applied to time keeping generally.
This product allows for a more private interaction with time. The faceless clock only tells the time when the user presses the central button, the clock then prints the time and date on to the internal roll of paper, the result of which is deposited from the front slot so the user can tear it off and keep it. The ‘time receipt’ also has a series of printed lines which allows space for the user to write a personal message which is significant to that particular moment in time.
Sachiko Kodama is a Japanese artist who uses ferrofluids. These fluids contains high levels of iron, so they are highly reactive to magnetics fields. Sachiko controls those magnetic fields with a computer to create these dynamic sculptures. You have to see it to believe it.
*relativity is an art project by Drzach & Suchy, they produced panels with the Shadow Casting Panels technique. They can ‘encode’ up to 3 images into 1 panel, by shifting the position of a light you can see the single images because the tabs on the panel cast a different shadow.

The project consists of an eight-foot (2.5m) long industrial robot arm, costumed to resemble an enormous inchworm or elephant’s trunk, which responds in unexpected ways to the presence and movements of people in its vicinity. Sited on a low roof above a museum entrance, and governed by a real-time machine vision algorithm, Double-Taker (Snout) orients itself towards passers-by, tracking their bodies and suggesting an intelligent awareness of their activities. The goal of this kinetic system is to perform convincing “double-takes” at its visitors, in which the sculpture appears to be continually surprised by the presence of its own viewers — communicating, without words, that there is something uniquely surprising about each of us.
Damn, that’s some bling belt buckle that Pharrell is wearing there. He designed it together with Camille Miceli for their Louis Vuitton Blason collection. You can have a detailed look at it here.
