TimePiece by Oyoram displays real time, and at the top of each hour, its digital mechanical arm springs to life, removing and replacing a clock face through art and technology. Yorame Mevorach (known professionally as Oyoram) is based in Downtown DSM’s Historic Sherman Hill district and also works from a studio in Paris, France. It was in Paris where he found the inspiration for TimePiece, where visitors stopped to observe the lights of the Eiffel Tower each hour.

Visitors and residents in Downtown DSM are invited to the Western Gateway neighborhood to see TimePiece by Oyoram, which is located at The Fitch Building, facing the John & Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park.

At 15, 30 and 45 minutes, TimePiece offers small visual moments of joy. At the top of each hour, the full experience of TimePiece is revealed, along with a new face of time.

“The hour we are spending will vanish, leaving behind only a memory,” Oyoram says. “If we meet again, we will have another hour, but this one will be gone. Time isn’t something you simply spend. It’s something precious, something to value.”
