the self-snoozing alarm clock

 

In a world where artificial intelligence and automation are increasingly taking over, why should the day have to start with something as inconvenient as being rudely awoken by a buzz — just to hit the snooze button? Introducing the Self-Snoozing Alarm Clock, a fusion of the analog and digital that playfully challenges the traditional wake-up call. Designed by Nico Tangara of BBH Innovation Lab, this alarm clock redefines the inconveniences of the morning routine with the help of technology. The designer utilizes Raspberry Pi, a compact computer module, to allow you to slowly wake up without ever having to leave the comfort of your bed.

‘This Self-Snoozing Alarm Clock is a critical art about the culture of convenience. An alarm clock that’s design to snooze itself, using the blend of analog and digital tech components,’ notes Nico Tangara. Featuring a Raspberry Pi 2 at its core the alarm clock is connected to a servo, employing a unique mechanism wherein a hand extends from the box to manually activate the snooze button. This action activates a program which then enables the clock to snooze itself indefinitely.

 

This alarm clock follows the designer’s past explorations of the interesting digital and analog realms to devise playful design solution. The Digitally Analog Polaroid Camera similarly employs a Raspberry Pi computer alongside the help of ChatGPT to combine the nostalgia of instant prints with the convenience of digital technology.
