時計と人との

新しい関係展

掛け時計や置時計というのは,面白い道具です。

私達は２秒もあれば時計を読めるので,一日にそれを見る時間は10秒ほどです。

一日に10秒しか見られないけれど,時計は人知れず動き続けています。

でも10秒とは言え,確実に見られるともいえる道具です。

そんな道具が,他にあるでしょうか？

大体道具といえば手で触れたり,使い出したら暫くの間は使い続けられるのが常です。

また,正確な時間は時計を見なくても,スマホを見れば分かります。

若者に限らず,その親世代でもそういう暮らしをしているのではないでしょうか。

でも,掛け時計や置時計は無くならないのは,なぜでしょうか？

そんな,不思議な道具ともいえる時計。

今回は置時計と掛け時計について,デザインを使って探求した結果を展示します。

道具が人に与える影響 と 人が道具に与える影響 という二つの軸で時計を深堀りし,

時計の再定義を模索し,新たな形と機能を与えます。

大学が研究として時計を捕らえた時,どんな形と機能がそこに現れるのでしょうか？

市場では見ることのできない,「おおー！」と驚く,でも「なるほど」と納得もできる,

そんな時計に出会えるでしょう。

様々な道具がスマホと一体化し,また建築物に内包され,その形を失っていきつつある

現代で,改めて物と人との関係を考え直す探求の成果です。

是非,御高覧下さい。

物と人との新しい関係

A clock is an interesting product..

We look at it around 10 seconds in a day because we can have the time for about 2 seconds. It keeps working secretly even though it is looked at for only 10 second in a day. But it is looked at definitely even if it’s for only 10 second.

Do we have such products except it? Most of them are always touched by hands, and used for a while after once we start using them.

On the other hand we can have the time without looking at a clock because of looking at a smartphone. Not only young generations but also their parents’ generations are like that, aren’t them? But why don’t clocks extinct?

We can say clock is a curious product like being described above. This time, we exhibit clocks which are results explored by design.

We explore it with 2 perspective, firstly its effects from people to products and secondly its effects from products to people, after that we try to make the redefinition of it. And finally clocks get new forms and functions. What forms and functions will appear when the university sees clock as research? You can meet clocks which you can’t see in the common clock market but we are sure that seeing our exhibition, you get surprised as ''Oh!'' but understand as ''Hmm..it makes sense'' at the same time.

They’re results of explorations that is rethought about relations between products and people in the present day when many products are losing their shapes because they’re combined into smartphones and architectures.

Enjoy our exhibition.
