Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Prominent designer Maarten Baas is going with the times: instead of presenting expensive, limited-edition interior design at this year's Saloni in Milan, he opted for his first iPhone app that incorporates an earlier work of his, the Analog Digital Clock.
The clock is part of the Dutch designer's Real Time collection, for which actors were filmed for 12 hours indicating the time by painting and swiping digital-looking numbers. Its numbers look like those of a conventional alarm clock, but are changed manually by an actor each minute.
The installation, which aims at "watching time in a different way" is often considered as video/performance art despite its functional purpose and has won several design prizes.
"I always make works without any concessions on the quality and authenticity, therefore they often are high-end unique works," Baas, who rented a private apartment in Milan to present the app, said in a statement. "The Analog Digital Clock as an iPhone app is exactly how it should be, yet this product only needs to cost one dollar."
Baas is also exhibiting The Shell, an installation he created as Design Miami's designer of the year last December, in Milan at Via Ventura 3 in Ventura Lambrate.
His new iPhone app can be downloaded at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/analog-digital-clock/id360985167?mt=8 for the price of $0.99 (Saloni Milan special offer).
