# Heartbeat-Synced Clocks The UJI Clock by 'Being and Dying' Changes the Way One Thinks About Time By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-05-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/being-and-dying References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/technology/uji-wall-clock-heartbeat-05-09-2014/) & [beinganddying.tumblr](http://beinganddying.tumblr.com/) The UJI clock was designed by the team behind Being and Dying, which consists of Jonathan Chomko, Federico Floriani as well as Ivor Williams. The guys came up with a clock that changes the way one thinks about time in a slightly disturbing way. The clock actually syncs up to one's heartbeat, and ticks on the wall the same way a regular clock would. Instead of looking up to tell the time, you are glancing up to see just how steady that health is coming along. What I love about this design is it solidifies that time for people comes with an end date, and people should make the most of their lives while they can.
