In an innovative fusion of technology and artistry, the Poem/1 AI clock is designed to display the time uniquely – by translating it into a poem. Equipped with a rectangular E Ink display having a resolution of 960 x 540, the timepieces present a reflection-free surface allowing clear visibility under most lighting conditions, except for dark rooms where the lack of backlighting might make it challenging to read.
The Poem/1 clock is not just a standalone piece but can also be mounted on a wall thanks to its designated openings. It receives power via a USB-C connection. An additional feature that is being considered is a button that will enable the clock to send a poem to you as a personal note, contingent on the project raising 11% above its nearly $103,000 funding goal.
For enthusiasts interested in securing their own piece of this poetic time-telling experience, Poem/1 is currently available for backing on Kickstarter. Early backers can expect to pledge approximately GBP 119 (around $150) along with additional shipping costs. The backers are scheduled to receive their E Ink clocks in August 2024. This upfront cost includes OpenAI fees for five years, which covers the generation of poems, after which users might need to pay additional fees to continue enjoying the poetic features of the clock.
This unique blend of chronology and poetry introduces an exclusive experience for those who appreciate a novel approach to everyday objects, promising to weave moments of creativity into the fabric of daily life.
