24 renowned Typographers, Designers and Artists came together as a tribute to the vinyl record, refering to their interpretation to the clockwerk and the sign o’ times.
Artists in the line up included, ALIFE, Michael Leon, Jonathan Zawada, Alex Trochut, Jeremyville, Andy Howell, COLLIDER, Marok and Jonhatan Zawad to name a few.

Turning the records into laser etched time pieces added purpose to objects which had otherwise become obsolete.
