Baek Sunwoo, Kim Myeongseong, and Prof. Lee Woohun designed the Time to Snow timepiece, which is a clock that is detailed with snow-like grains made from styrofoam to represent the look of snow. The small grains are held within a rectangular structure that is altered constantly to create a small blizzard inside of the clock.
From here, static electricity is relied on to defy gravity and display the time of day. At the top of the clock is a camera module that allows viewers to interact with gestures and their presence. When there are no individuals near the clock, it is able to generate a small snowstorm to attract people and it will diminish as they approach the clock.
