An example is the Sasa Clock by Icelandic artist Thorunn Arnadottir. The ceaseless march of time, measurable in endlessly smaller increments, is a western concept. In many parts of the world, time is not parsed into seconds or even minutes. In some places, people perceive time as speeding up when activities speed up and slowing down when its time to rest. There the time is personal, it’s part of the individual.he refined and elegant Sasa Clock asks the user to relax, slow down and let time flow, as there is no quick way to read it. The clock comprises of brightly colour-coded necklace beads which revolve around a slowly rotating stainless steel carousel, with each colour representing an increment of minutes or hours.The beads are stained beech wood; orange represents hours and gold and silver beads signify noon and midnight. With an almost imperceptible slowness, the clock drops a bead along the cord at five-minute intervals. You can always stop time completely from the wheel, and wear the beads proudly as a statement of freedom from time. The clock is available in two versions and color ways; natural wood with white hour beads and blue with orange hour beads.
| Another artwork GPS drawing by Jeremy Wood. For over a decade he has been exploring GPS satellite technology as a tool for digital mark making on water, over land, and in the air.Wood started GPS drawing to investigate the expressive qualities of digitally tracing his daily movements. His work binds the arts and sciences by using languages of drawing and technology to present a personal cartography. By revealing ones tracks the technology can introduce new approaches to travel, navigation and local awareness. GPS drawing engages a range of creative applications and challenges perceptions of scale by traveling as a geodetic pencil.
The GPS artist’s project is an investigation of how technology enables us to identify and record new aspects of our journeys and of our surroundings. The project lever- ages ‘digital mark making’ using GPS satellite navigation technology to automatically record where an individual has been as a digital dot-to-dot line.’
If I was to create fantasy project that uses the 6 design principles of I would create artwork painting that would reflect the climate changes outside the house/building. Its would be like a painting that would be able to collect weather data and produce sound of wind if its windy outside, something cool when its summer and something enjoying in spring and something for winter. User would be able to sit down next to painting , touch it and then the sound will produce depending on weather.User would also be able to change the painting themes and sounds regardless of the weather outside. It would be pretty difficult but could be made more interesting as person could sit down , relax and have freedom to change the sounds and themes depending on their mood. They will be able to engage with the painting and get information on the weather outside. Painting will be revealing and reflect the climate changes. This way viewer will be able to engage and participate in this. The painting itself will reveal the information when button pressed. Afterwards the painting could be made more transparent and expanded by creating separate paintings for climate, precautions in that climate etc. in which each painting could interact with each other.
