Description
In today’s world, time is defined by numbers structured, digital, and ever-present. Our schedules, routines, and seasonal time revolve around digital cues. In the Netherlands, for example, we collectively set our clocks forward or backward to align with summer and wintertime, showing how artificial our concept of time has become.
EMIT is an exploration to a more natural approach to time-setting and waking, moving from digital clocks toward an experience that feels natural.
The design was made by looking a bit through the eyes of a cavemen. Trying to experiment in ways that felt most natural visual and in hand to set time in a more natural way.

How it was made
The model was printed on an Ender 3 S1 pro with a 0.8mm nozzle using Colorfabb Stonefill filament. Inside you can find an Arduino nano with a tiny stepper motor rotating at 1 rotation per 24 hours.
