JDS architects: experiencing the void
architecture turned into enjoyment and participation.
instead of contemplating the void of the guggenheim museum’s central space, JDS architects have proposed an experience which sees a trampoline net spiraling down the institution’s rotunda. this idea plays on frank lloyd wright’s original scenography for the guggenheim in which he envisioned patrons visiting the exhibition from the top, downwards.
Why so evil?
The Tyrant Clock, designed by Alice Wang has to be the meanest alarm clock concept ever invented.
The clock syncs up with your cell phone, randomly goes through your contact list, and then calls someone different every three minutes after your intended wake up time. It displays in a large size the name of the person who’s about to get their own wake up call from you. The potential for it to call someone and in some way completely ruin your life is huge. A disaster waiting to happen, which would make it the ideal alarm clock. Don’t want your boss, mom, or mistress awoken at some ungodly hour? Then get your butt out of bed and turn the Tyrant off.Oh my goodness, people would flip if they got a call at 4:50am from me.
Today, I noticed the ridiculous amount of taxes taken out of my pay for an entire year. It is in the HUNDRES, THOUSAND, TRILLIONS…
