Can you think of a clock or timeface, developed specificly for its environment?
Who is the clock/ watch face for? (individual, community, animal, computer – system time …)
Is it running on its own/ is it being cared for, set? (thinking of power source, routines, labour)
Where is it located? (place, publicness, attached to?)
and (how) does it relate to its environment?
What speed, duration or more pointed at events?
What does it need or want to tell? (seconds, days, periods?)
What other ways of ‘time’, ‘timing’ or memory do you feel attuned to?
