Makin' Time Computer Art CLOCKS

WELCOME TO THE NEW SITE!!!

MAKIN’ TIME Computer Clocks are individually handcrafted high tech timepieces. Most one-of-a-kind clocks incorporate a hard drive platter or a CD as the clock face and an embellished circuit board as the background. Other models are crafted from CDs, floppy disks, drive housings, video laser disks or main frame drive platters. Each clock offers a whimsical view of our rapidly changing technology, preserving it as art rather than landfill. In addition to their functionality they help contribute to the overall recycling effort by utilizing obsolete, discarded or surplus computer components.

The first clock was created in 1995 as a going away gift for a retiring chief engineer at a video production studio. The rave reviews and additional commissions prompted me, and the originator, Carol Baum, to further test the market and me. Subsequently, MAKIN' TIME was formed.

Although the two artists, Cynthia Goldner and Carol Baum, create clocks in separate studios (Kensington, MD & Boulder, CO), they try to work as a team whenever possible so as to play off each others’ design sense in making new decorative, functional, educational, recycled timepieces. The clocks require no software installation and only need rebooting with a "AA" battery about once a year. Currently they are available in many galleries/shops across the country. MAKIN’ TIME clocks also have been customized for several businesses, employee appreciation and client gifts. Additionally, Cynthia participates in several retail shows throughout the year.
