time is similar to luck. it's there but you can't feel it or see it, yet it has an effecton our lives. there's also something playful about the way time treats us,sometimes seeming never-ending, at other times going so quickly that we alwaysseem to be running after it. so instinctively dice and time seem to fit together.

time is what you make it.

the wall-clock consists of a green metal base that recalls the color of the greenbaize used for covering gambling tables. the dice contain magnets so that theystick onto the base, but can be moved (or thrown) to form the numbers you

choose, wherever you want. a number of dice are given with the clock so youcan make up as many numbers as you want.

my own clock

peace of mind, free will and contemplation made tangible in clock function. thesquare enclosing the circle, seeking out organic and alive.

my own clock is made of red pottery and tempered glass. the bubble is dividedinto 24 parts, that relate to 24 hours a day. but you can decide you want toremind you that only written or drawn in sections circle corresponding to the timeyou want to use. my own clock is not an accurate clock, by contrast produces avery diffuse boundary only by the depth of water.

the 24hour loop clock will give you the time you need to enjoy each hour, day,week, month

at a glance the led screen indicates whether it is night or day. the oval facepresents all 24 hours in a day visually. the red ball marker helps you to locatewhether it is the first half of the day/night or the second half. the chrome dischelps you locate whether it is the first half of the hour or the second half.

this clock is mechanically precise but when you look at it, you see time as ageneral idea of what part of the day/hour it is. this enables you to quantify the dayinto larger chunks and visually understand the passing of each day. instead ofworrying about there being 'not enough time' you are able to focus your energyon your task at hand-- work or play. and not to fret, if there still isn't enough time,you will always have another loop, another day, for you to enjoy your work andplay!

in indian tradition and history the concept of time is cyclical,the hindu calendar isbased on real months(phases of the moon),and different festivals andcelebrations are thus based on specific days after or before the full moon or newmoon ,as also is eater in the christian calendar. many myths are based aroundthe waxing and waning of the moon , the full moon is called pooranvashi and thenew moon is called ammavashya, a lot is said of the energy that is drawn and isavailable during these specific periods. in some parts of india the monthgenerally begins with the full moon,and in some parts it begins with the newmoon.

the wall clock is based on this concept . . . as time changes each day it remindsus of the importance of the eclipses and the beauty of the universe.in the clockthe sun is eclipsed!

the clock is constructed out offelt.itis of 2 colors.the black upper part is the hourhandle and the yellow part is the minute handle.

souls timea clock designed for people on a spiritual phase of their life, a state in which theycan decide what to do with their time. people who live without the rush thatproduces that soundwhat sound?

how does it work?it works gathering data from instruments incorporated inside the body of theclock: a thermometer, a barometer, an altimeter, a gps, and even data from theinternet, this information is then interpreted by the internal processor whichgenerates an image in a led screen, that shows a graphic reference to yourgeographical position, to the weather and light in that instant and a reference tothe hour. perceptual parameters that influence rationally and irrationally.

what we do with our time.hello, this clock was designed by luisa belalcazar and david diaz, we are both inthe spirituality course, we to work as a team because luisa is a design enthusiastwho's about to start her industrial design career this coming year and she felt alittle unexpert with software and with drawing at the time, so we decided to do ittogether.

bindubindu, in sanskrit, means a dot, particle or a drop. a bindu is the start of theuniverse, the creation of thought.

bindu is considered to be a chakra situated at the back of the head. the processof regeneration can only be carried out with the help of bindu. also, all thespiritual experiences take place when there is an explosion of bindu. thisexplosion can result in the creation of a thought or of anything.


11/18

the bindu manifests itself physically and is used as a decorative symbol on thebody as a 'dot' placed on the third eye, ie. between the eyebrows.

if the wall had a bindu, what would it be like?

the bindu clockthe bindu clock is an esoteric one that measures not just time, but weighsthoughts and the overall energy in a room- positive and negative, constructiveand destructive.


12/18

the glass orb of the clock is the main indicator of time and energy. you read thetime as with a normal clock (when the viewer faces the wall), with hands thatpoint to the time on an imaginary face that splits the orb into two hemispheres.when positive energy fills the room, the minute hand starts moving in a spiralpath in the front hemisphere (away from the wall) and the orb emits a pleasant,blue light. when the bindu senses negative energies, the minute hand takes abackward spiral path which moves toward the back hemisphere, thus emitting ared light.


13/18

when the room has reached its maximum of positive or negative energies, theminute hand at this point is perpendicular to the imaginary face of the clock, andthe real time becomes unreadable. both these states are signals to the audience:when completely red, to calm themselves and keep in check their destructivethoughts, that time is no matter in this state and calming oneself is far moreimportant; and when completely blue, to enjoy the moment of peace and calm,for these moments come rarely, and here as well time is of no essence.

Time for me is just a set of numbers that flips in a straight line to indicate thetiming the speed of the changing process only matters to me when there is adead line or something am looking forward to, this is when I see it as a race. Ilike to read time in a clear way if it is 5:15 I want to see the numbers clearlydisplayed fully so I won't need to guess if its fifteen or sixteen.

I started designing my clock as a straight line with fixed minutes which are theonly common thing between all the numbers of time thats why each numbermoves on a chain waiting for its time to come to pass their routine.


16/18

At the same time even if the next number is visible I'm still yet not sure what willhappen next in my life and thats why part of the number is hidden. I added apersonal touch to my clock so I can write on it whatever I want.

my opinion counting time is useless. Everything changes, but time goes on. Itexisted before you, it will go on after you. The only time that can be counted isthe personal one. So why not stop pretending and face the fact that there is onlyyesterday, today, tomorrow. And that is relative too. We exist only in now, are wecapable to accept it?
