How fast growing and fast improving can be an idea left running freely around the world for 48 hours? This is the question I suppose to answer during a 2 days design worldwide workshop. From Doha to Richmond, from Richmond to Melbourne and from Melbourne back to Doha, this is the route the idea will travel, running across different cultures, skills and time zones. Everyone, in this design cycle, will be allowed to modify, upgrade or refine the last design release. The final outcomes of this ring-a-ring-a-roses will be an exhibition able to underline the open design process and its potential.
Three universities developed a topic for 48 hours. The teams, based in different time zones, passed the project one each other uploading on-line their outcomes at the end of each daily session. The workshop ran for 6 sessions, every one made of 7 hours; between each session approximately one hour was dedicated to upload and download the files from a shared online folder; in this way the whole 24h will has been used to develop the projects.

The Time Machine Workshop_welcome from Paolo Cardini on Vimeo.


The project brief defined The Time Machine as a device able to measure and describe time through unconventional methods. No clock’s hands, no calendars no numbers but new meaningful cues able to represent the passing of life. Different cultures have different time perceptions, different priorities and different ways to define the present. Different moods underline your personal clock: “Time flies when you’re having fun,” or "a watched pot never boils" are both phrases able to easily clarify the flexibility and relativity of Time.

Final Outcome exhibited during Tasmeem Conference in Doha. The installation was made by two different pieces:

Facebook roll, in which all the workshop whas been described trought an analogical scrolling of the facebook page used as sharing platform.
Selfies roll, an interactive device which reveals a series of self-portrait instagram photos that are related to that particular time zone.
