There are many things that the Meaning of Time looks like. Pop-up sprinkler, shelf bracket, vibrator. It is none of these. It is in fact a minimalist clock. A mechanism cut back to its barest essentials, it exists without hands or face.
What Bomi Kim's conceptual plastic widget does have, though, is holes. Two holes into which you can shove the hands of your choice, and two grooves that can be pushed into yet another hole, a face-hole. This is a truly stripped back design, where, as in quantum physics, the hole is as important as the electrons surrounding it.
Aside: While hitting up the Google to check my electron hole facts, I came across a site which seems to be a giggling schoolboy's dream, called Saturn Daily. Tagline: Your portal to the ringed world. Headline: High Energy Electron Holes Reveal Unseen Rings. You couldn't make this stuff up.
