continuously changing wall-art
design:  JAN PAUL

A large, physical, digital, wall-mounted, artwork that also tells the time if you look closely.
Every minute: one, two , three or four numbers change as time changes.
This creates a new glowing red pattern, a new artwork placed against the black backdrop.

There are 1440 minutes in a day.
Timewarp displays 1440 different patterns in 24 hours.
Some number combinations have a more powerful effect. Some more subtle.
When four numbers at the same time change , for example: from 23.59 to 00.00: that has the biggest effect.
This principle creates a very visually interesting and dynamic artwork.
The digital numbers are placed in a ring. mimicking the position of numbers on a classic analog clock.

“TIMEWARP” pays homage to the first digital alarm-clocks.

At the time a revolutionary way of telling time.
Red digital LED-numbers projected against a black background.
Cased in a hardwood housing.

I used, and enhanced that visual language to create something new.
The digital clockwork is covered by a mirror-less glass plate.
The artwork is cased in a beautiful solid pressed bamboo frame.
The bamboo is sanded and oiled, bringing out the caramel color and grain.

Inspired by insomnia:
In my youth when I could not sleep, ideas keeping me awake, staring at my alarm-clock. The only thing visible in the night where the shining red numbers.
Every minute the time would change.
I did not see the numbers, but patterns and lines changing shape each minute.
This childhood memory inspired my to use and enhance that imagery.
