"What is time?" This project explores this question using a 32x32 LED matrix, where modular squared shapes represent time passing by. Squares move creating uniques pattern, reflecting moments and transitions from past to future. This visual representation invites contemplation on time's essence and our relationship with it.
The concept of this clock is based on the primitive shape of the square, inspired by our media: The LED Matrix. we started to understand how we could use the 32x32 pixels and how we could adapt the hours, minutes and seconds on it.
We started by understanding how to displace hours on the grid manteining the modularity.
grid 32X32 px
hours displacement
Then we developed a system to displace minutes following the subdivisions of a rounded clock:
five minutes for each block of hours
minutes displacement
We decided to translate seconds as rythm that continuously change the position of the squares that rapresents minutes.
