Book of Hours
2024
Book of Hours explores the relationship between time, attention, and creativity. Users can select a frequency to receive either short, gnomic prompts or jokes throughout the day. These periodic interruptions are designed to disrupt habitual thought patterns and encourage users to reflect on time's structure, elasticity, and relation to the creative process, or in the case of jokes, provide a quick laugh. Users are prompted to write a quick diary entry recording their thoughts about the prompt or joke. These are saved on the user's device for later review.
