Time To Shop is an installation in the upcoming 3 month-3 city Get It Louder festival. Time To Shop is a critical installation analyzing statistics of consumption. We chose to use clocks as our medium for data representation because Shopping Malls, by industry standard, do not have clocks in them. Further, we thought it even more pertinent to make a statement on the blind evolution of Eastern society to follow a Western minded market system. Time To Shop will hopefully capture one second of the Chinese consumers time to think about how much is already consumed on a daily basis and too ponder their consumption ambitions. Shopping is mutating from an everyday exercise in sustenance to a cancerous western notion of possession.
