Manifold Clock

The Manifold Clock by Studio Ve uses the movement of clock hands to create dynamic 3D form.

From Studio Ve on Vimeo.

According to the designers, the manifold is only connected to the hour hand. It wraps around the minute hand, so it is free to flip and rotate when the two hands pass each other.

Cartographies of Time

Cartographies of Time (Princeton Architectural Press) is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present.

Thanks to Coolhunting for pointing out an interesting new book "Cartographies of Time", by Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton, which "dissect[s] and track[s] the methods people used when attempting to record the passage of time."

Some examples:

Johannes Buno: Cartography of Time

"Relying on symbolism rather than scholastic precision to recreate a moment in time, Johannes Buno helped redesign and redefine the timeline."

Katie Lewis, 201 Days
Katie Lewis, 201 Days (2007).

"Lewis used pushpins to represent significant 'sense events' and connected them together with red thread. The result is a precise yet jumbled representation of Lewis' bodily experiences. "
