Changing Time Through Heat and Colour

Digital Sensory Clock

This project redefined timekeeping through a “Hot Clock” that changes colour with heat, using thermochromic technology. Crafted with a copper substrate, the clock visually evolves throughout the day, making time feel tangible and interactive. Every moment is marked not just by the clock hands but by a shift in colour, merging precision with sensory immersion in a uniquely beautiful design.

Project Highlights 

A fascinating experience—the Sensory Clock transformed time into something I could see evolve. Watching its colours shift to mark each passing moment made time feel beautifully alive.

If you’re an artist, agency, or brand driven by creativity and sustainability, let’s talk. We work best with those who value the art of material innovation and believe in the power of design to evoke connection. Our collaborators tend to embrace immersive experiences and push boundaries, whether through tactile installations or sensory-driven wearables.
