This is a fully functional clock that is printed onto ordinary paper. Using a heat sensitive coating, the minutes and hours blur from one into the other in a very subtle, warm and organic way. The ornamented wallpaper was used to contrast the digital interactivity with our perception of traditional, static wall space. The graphic surface however could be changed to display any graphic or photographic motive.

Using the familiar language of segmented LED displays and running from a tiny chip, WATCH PAPER can be integrated into Wallpaper of any printable size. It was designed to appear only when it is needed in order to be an un-obtrusive element of the interior.

WATCH PAPER is the first of a number of products that we are developing for a range of different applications. Interactive walls, display systems and customised, made-to-order installations.

Watchpaper was exhibited at INTERACT1 in london in September 2004 (www.interact1.co.uk).
Further developments will be on show at the ARAM Store in London in February 2005, at the Designmai in Berlin in May 2005 and at Tokyo Designers Block in October 2005.
