A clock tells you the time, but what is a clock that informs you of your relationship with time? This 4-part series, titled Re-tell time, treads a thin line between being functional and provocative, jolting us with its weirdness and to consider our relationship with time.
Time Loop generates paper with a printed timestamp based on the user’s time spent on social media. It highlights the user's time waste as he or she gets trapped in the world of scrolling.
Time Turner updates the time only when the user turns the knob. When the user forcefully turns it, Time Turner will react meagerly to only return back to the now-time, conveying that time only moves at a fixed rate and ultimately leaving them waiting for time to arrive.
Time Stamp is a literal time stamp that informs another person of their poor respect for time. His or her bad habit to constantly snooze is made known upon waking up to an arm full of “scars”.
Time Whisperer tells the user the time at a regular frequency based on the user’s input, to aid his or her productivity. With the frequency ranging from a minute to an hour, it leads the user to ponder what is the level of mastery of time he or she is at.
