DO YOU WANT TO REPLACE THE EXISTING NORMAL?
- Statistical Clock
- Statistical Clock
Judging by a traditional value
of product design, this design is a '‘irresponsible'’ work. Although it calls
itself as ''Statistical Clock'', it obviously lacks the affordance of
timing, something like the hour hand, minute hand, graduations, etc. The
sharp and material of this work only suggest some correlation of
devices about the sound. Finding nothing special, people will think this
product ''incomprehensible'' rather than ‘’strange’’.
Its incomprehensible
characteristic and output both pose a question, "Do we really know about
the everyday products and the technology behind them?"
Statistical Clock is just a
great sample of ''normal incomprehensible things''. As not knowing what
sound means and how this works, people could hardly understand
the principle of everyday products. However, they consider those
''incomprehensible things'' normal because they are workable in most
instances.
Car, train and plane are also ''normal incomprehensible
things''. They stand for the closest part of the relationship between everyday
life and technology. Therefore, the information of fatalities has a huge impact
to them and makes them feel betrayed and weak. Without further information of
those death, e.g. reasons, places or names, people can only be passively informed
the sum of fatalities. The form of information - sound, is also very
passive to the listeners. Each part is trying to call the feeling of powerless
and ignorance.
