An object from the intersection of jewelry and technology, designed for a non-invasive and non-visual way of telling time. A piezoelectric actuator, activated by a touch sensor, encodes the current time
through a series of pulses.
through a series of pulses.
The cipher is based on progressively smaller divisions of the day: first into hours, then quarters, and finally minutes—allowing the user to read the time with any desired level of accuracy.
The software translates the current time into a feeling: a sequence of pulses that mark time units with increasing precision. The longer one checks the time, the more precise information can be obtained. Instead of being rushed by it, a watch becomes a meditation device.
A visual example of the cipher can be viewed below or tested using the p5.js code available here.
