et nunc.
a chromatic present
Free · Designed for iPad
To be here, now. And to know that across the world, someone else is here too — in their own color.
et nunc.
There is a color to this moment. Not the color of a notification, or a map, or a chart — the color of right now, where you are, as the sun moves through its arc and the light shifts in ways no clock can measure.
et nunc. is a contemplative space. Seven cities, each with its own chromatic atmosphere: the burnt sienna and deep shadow of Rome, the electric tension of New York at night, the saffron and violet of New Delhi at dawn, the pale silver of London in the afternoon, the cadmium yellow of Tokyo breaking open at sunrise, the ultramarine depth of Buenos Aires after dark, the quiet grey of Cape Town under its particular sky. Each city breathes differently. Each hour has a different weight.
et nunc. is a generative visual artwork. On Apple Watch, the piece transforms continuously over 24 hours — two bands of color, day rising from below and night receding above, expanding and contracting with the passage of the sun. There are no numbers, no notifications, no complications. Only the slow, imperceptible movement of light. Watch for a few seconds and you see one thing. Watch longer and something else begins to emerge: a tension between the two bands, a moment just before dawn when everything collapses into darkness before the color returns. Designed for those who experience time visually rather than numerically.
Somewhere on the other side of the world, someone is living a different color. Amber where you have indigo, sienna where you have mist — the same sun, the same rotation, the same unrepeatable instant. et nunc. lets you choose to be there. Select a city and you step into its light — not as a traveler, but as a presence. A way of saying: right now, I am with you, in your color, in your hour.
This is not an app you use. It is an app you inhabit.
