Entry Number 2323
T2154’s key element is Time-ink, a substance that appears or changes color within a set period of time, and then later disappears altogether. Used with a tool that is both a pen and a stamp, T2154 can be applied to a range of surfaces in a variety of situations. T2154 gives the user the ability to measure time in whatever way suits best, from scheduling the day to simply providing a subtle awareness of the passage of time.
Chochinov: I love the idea of being able to "time stamp" any paper with magical, smart ink, providing reminders and identification for documents that need attention. This might be very interesting for other kinds of printed documents—on the back of photographs or marriage licenses, library books or postcards.
Moeslinger: This dynamic temporary timestamp could just be a fun toy. However, it also serves a practical purpose. Time is relative, so a time measuring and readout device that can be used in a more context sensitive way makes a lot of sense. And for people who don’t usually wear a watch, the possibility of asking someone in the street for the time and getting a temporary timestamp is very convenient.
