Hearing the phrase //Panta rhei//, time is amongst first things that come to mind, but when a designer and an electrical engineer join forces, there comes a new way of seeing things: //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.// Behind these words hides Rhei - the prototype of an electro-mechanical clock with a liquid display. The clock has been created by designer Damjan Stankovic as a result of a year long passion project and executed in collaboration with Marko Pavlovic, electrical engineer, and //many other wonderful people.//
