Wow... 
Rewind
Rewind is a digital clock collection designed to revive a physical link with the reading of the time that has become pervasive and unconscious since the digital revolution. While the movements relative to the reading of time are now gone, each clock offers a unique way to rewind its mechanism. When nowadays the gesture of interaction is minimized to touch, they propose to give it a more physical dimension by playing with recharge or energy release and either to rewind the clock to display the time, or to go back in time with the nostalgia evoked by the type of interaction. Their codes, drawing on childhood memories, transform what was once seen as a task into a fun activity.

you may see the video on the link below. It's amazing.

Lyonel Feininger

Lyonel Feininger


I was lucky to discover this artist at the Bauhaus, looking in between books. When looking through the process of his work, I did find interesting his paintings, but what made the connection to his art was the special way he used the Bahaus space with light, and transmitting it through photography. 
Many know Lyonel Feininger as an accomplished painter, printmaker, and caricaturist whose work is forever linked to the Bauhaus movement. He was Walter Gropius’s first faculty appointment to the Weimar art school in 1919, and he helped shape an artistic movement that would influence artists for decades to come.
Lyonel’s early work includes moody nighttime shots of the Bauhaus building and the surrounding area. His photographs were not publicly exhibited because of the objections of his wife, who encouraged him to promote his career as a painter instead.





What made his work so special for me was the simplicity of the combination of the light and architecture.
