DropClock
by Yugo Nakamura

“DropClock” is an application that displays the current time via high-speed footage of Helvetica typography falling slowly into water.

This work captures the natural physical phenomena of “typography”, “water”" and “gravity” which interact complexly, displayed as digital unit. The concept of video as interior is evident in this work, and it will be pre-installed on FRAMED.

If displayed on four FRAMED devices, the screens can be synchronize to display the hours and minutes of a four-digit clock. (DropClock also runs on a single FRAMED device).
