Experimental Clock

Description

Sketch




Reflection

This experimental clock shows three options for time viewing; past, present, and future. It uses the hover function to display the time at present, -1s for the time past, and +1s for the time future. For past and future the time is displayed atop the present time. Without hovering the present time is displayed. This clock is a reminder to "live in the present" as that is the only way harmony is acheived.

I chose this sketch for both practical and creative reasons. I wanted to do a sketch that I wouldn't have to implement too much technicality to acheive. This sketch works of the basic concepts that were taught in the tutorial to acheive a conceptual message. While my other ideas were interesting conceptually the learning I would have to do beyond was not optimal for the time and objective of a cohesive project.

This assignment was fundamental in my understanding of P5.js and my conceptual model of the program. The integration of time and conditionals allowed me to understand the process of computation and the underlying system so much more. I think in previous projects, as a viusal designer trying to scaffold my understanding of other programs, there was a lapse in my grasp of coding.It was an enjoyable project with many light bulb going off moments.
