The sculptural installation serves as both a functional timepiece and dynamic art object, blending analog and digital aesthetics through the physical properties of liquid in motion.

Rhei is a dynamic installation, an animated sculpture, an idea expressed in the form of a minimalistic, digital clock.

Rhei is a prototype of an electro-mechanical clock with a liquid display , and the result of a one-year long passion project, created by Damjan Stanković , executed in collaboration with Marko Pavlović and many other wonderful people . Never before has a liquid substance been unveiled in its pure, unrefined form and controlled in a manner which allows it to display tangible shapes . There is a middle ground between the analog and the digital sphere, where the rules of mechanics and the laws of nature come together in order to create a liquid illusion reminiscent of a contemporary, digital form. Time as a concept is highly subjective, but there are two things we can claim about it with…from hellorhei.com

    Hello all! Build clean, minimalistic analog clock webpage to Cloudflare Pages. This is for (maybe): - kids to learn - for second monitor - old tabled on shelf - .. Themes and screen wake lock buttons with auto-hide. Goal is to keep it as clean as possible. This possible makes no sense, but for a domain of $10/y this is cheap site for me to keep and see how it lives on.
