Thanks for sharing my project :)


A clock to remind you that life is short.

‘ShortLife’ is a small device showing how much percent of your life is completed based on your life expectancy.

The life expectancy is calculated based on average number in your country provided by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Edition of 1 million.


Sorry, but life expectancy changes constantly. As you age your life expectancy increases because you haven't died yet. Otherwise this will reach a point where it thinks you should be dead, which is ridiculous. Isn't it?


Very good idea :) Let's go!


Oeee sounds very interesting!


That is a beautiful way on how to look to art!


Super thanks! Makes me happy that people see that :)


I think I'm just good at Google and trying stuff out :)


True, everything is based on time & location of the camera. I manually curated the cameras and made sure there is around 50% sky in the image. Also if the camera is not pointed perfectly to the sunset/sunrise you will most of the time see it based on the colors. A next step I want to integrate is that it will select the camera based on the amount of orange/red.


Hahaha to be honest you are right!


btw, I also made Die With Me, the chat app you can only use when you have less than 5% battery. https://driesdepoorter.be/diewithme/

This is a little ad ;)


Your portfolio is fantastic. Really smart/clever stuff. Usually I feel like the "technology" based art I see in galleries is just trash. But this is a real solid counter point :)


I totally remember this one! I kept an old android phone on like 4% battery and kept putting it on and off the charger to stay chatting with people. Good times.
