Make the most of NOW

Chrono-Shredder is calendar by Susanna Hertrich that shreds the passing day reminding us just how important now is.

In her words "The machine as performer. Chrono-Shredder is a poetic time-object that reminds us of the volatileness of the 'now'. As hybrid object with functions similar to those of a calendar and a clock, it shreds every single day in realtime. All that time that is irrevisibly lost gets a tangible existence in form of shredded paper. As time passes by, the tattered remains of the past pile up under the device."

Quite.
