Spire Clock by Wireframe

The ‘SPIRE ’which literally means a spiral, was inspired from the movement of the Japanese folding fan. The hour and the minute hands of this clock constrain the spiral form at two ends. The spiral form of the clock unfolds and folds in the rhythm of a Japanese fan.

Time on the SPIRE is displayed by a play of mass and void. The base houses all the mechatronics required to run the clock. The base and the blades of the clock can be made from various combination of materials such as copper, stainless steel, wood, acrylic

Our communal spaces are being overrun with ads. Train stations, streets, squares, busses, and subways now scream one message after another at us. Once considered “public,” these spaces are increasingly being seized by corporations to propagate their messages. We the public, are both target and victim of this media attack.

The Bubble Project instantly transform these annoying corporate monologues into open public dialogues. They encourage anyone to fill them in with any expression, free from censorship. More Bubbles mean more freed spaces, more sharing of personal thoughts, more reactions to current events, and most importantly, more imagination and fun.
