Uji from Being and Dying on Vimeo.


"Designers Ivor Williams, Jonathan Chomko and Federico Floriani from Italian research centre Fabrica have developed UJI, a meditative wall clock that proposes to radically change different ways of looking at, and thinking about time. the device displays time through the motion of human impermanence – the heartbeat – presenting an alternative proposition to the notion of a ‘death-clock’ and providing a subtle materialization of zen philosophy. Using Arduino, electromagnets and wearable technology such as radio modules and ECG sensors, UJI lets you see your own heartbeat existing in time with movement of the minute and hour hands."
