I heart it Nadine Grenier and 500 clocks

I ♥ fubiz for oodles of reasons so much so that I confess to whittling away a fair chunk of my working day, and below is one of the reasons for this...

fubiz.net: Experimental N-1 Research "A message which is posted every 12 hours thanks to more than 500 clocks. It is about the project of Nadine Grenier, coed in Esad: an elegant work around the time which passes, at the time of Biennial international Design in Saint-Etienne."

 

Experimental N-1 Research

the message is "le temps passe, et chaque fois qu’il y a du temps passe, il y a quelque chose qui s’efface" 

This is a quote from Jules Romains, a French poet, which roughly translates in “Time passes, and every time the time passes, there is something that fades”. source: o'clock

 

Dear Santa,
please may I have 550 clocks (I'm guessing I will need some spares) and some spare time so I can fiddle.
love
