Terminal Countdown ↗
Overview
A browser-based clock which counts down the time until my death according to my life expectancy and,
in doing so, points out the absurdity of the human desire to quantify and predict things we cannot
control.
The user may click through three different views (weeks, years, and days), each of which fills the
screen with the corresponding number of moving circles that slowly decreases over the course of my
life. Some views are more quantifiable than others. In time, there will nothing left except the
simple statement of my birth—like a birth certificate, or an obituary.
