TIME DESIGN

It appears as if most all industrial design, when concerned with time, is enamored with the traditional mode of time-keeping... that is, the conveyance of numbers.

It is mostly concerned with producing an aesthetically pleasing, intellectually or emotionally compelling item with which to adorn one's body or space... oftentimes superseding function with fashion. While is it evident that a great deal of thought and creativity is utilized in this exercise, it seems shallow; failing to apply such ability beyond the traditional norms of considering time. The application of the mind has not been allowed free reign.

Here we begin to see modest derivations from the theme; this wall clock introduces the average time span of one's life into its duties, whilst the table clock below conveys time in light of the "category of day."

It is still not enough.

To elucidate, there numerous traditional means of addressing time - clocks, calendars, timers, stopwatches.

Let us consider time in different ways... in perhaps, more meaningful ways. Let us consider how we associate time with memory, with emotion. Let us consider how we associate time with event. Let us consider chronology. Let us consider the relativity of time, through human perception or even physics. Let us consider time in terms of routine and disruption. Let us consider time in terms of growth. Let us consider time in terms of time.
