Mr. Clock is such an attention -ho–

August 3rd, 2010        

Meet Mr. Clock. He can tell you the time, but only when you pay attention to him. If you do not, he will get rather annoyed. But to show you how annoyed he is, he won’t give you the time, but only show you some ‘sneak peak’ of the current time. His idea of sneak peak? Random, nonsensical configurations, in segmented display. Only when you step right closer to him and give him some of your attention, will he do what he’s supposed to do, that is to tell you the time. Designed by Park Hye-Yeon, it’s supposed to be a piece of art. But his idea of an art that doesn’t do well in telling the time is that “if a clock’s ticking away in a gallery and there’s no one around to see it, does it really display the time?”
