Each Creative Time Clock comprises one of the world’s smallest quantum random number generators (Quantis QRNG by IDQ). Integrated on a chip, this device counts genuinely unpredictable quantum events (the quantum noise of a photon source) and converts them into digital signals, either 0 or 1. Through a programmed microcontroller board and associated circuitry, the quantum-certified random numbers are then transformed into the creative time steps that drive the motor moving the clock hands. 

Each Creative Time Wall Clock features a unique framed painting, created by an individual artist, and paired with a distinctive metallic design component. The two elements are connected by an automatically motorized cable that dynamically adjusts their relative positions on the wall, transforming the piece into an interactive art installation. The motion reflects the relationship between creative time and regular geometric time. Every day, when creative time runs ahead of conventional time, the clock frame gradually moves upward; when it falls behind, it gently descends. Each night, the clock resynchronizes with geometric time, and over the course of 24 hours, it lets nature’s creativity run free.
