Flipped clock

Thomson & Craighead do a lot of online virtual work but my favorite piece by them was flipped clock not because of how it looked but because of what it meant


Every single person in this world is so rushed by the clock, everyone is constantly asking what time is it? wondering if it is time for them to leave. But When you flip the clock it reminds you that time is really nothing. It is just a clock or a watch or cell phone. In the gallery where the flipped clock is located it is a functional working clock but when someone looks at it, the numbers flipped bye 180 degrees allow them to stop worrying about time for just one second. The flipped clock takes them by surprise and should remind them that timing is NOT everything

I was going to do a video on time, but i thought it might be too original, so i didn't but class has really showed me how fast in life i am moving. I go from school to work, or from work to work every single day not paying attention to anything that is going on around me. In my spare time i sleep, which i could say is a waste of time, but then again time doesn't really matter. If the whole world would just drop their  schedules for ONE DAY, put away their cell phones, watches, and clocks this world could be a much less selfish place.
