shredder disposes of days gone by

Designer Susanna Hertrich created this unique calendar that gradually rids itself of the previous day by shredding them into oblivion.

The Chrono_Shredder combines a calendar, clock and shredder into a single device that gradually scrolls through the days, eating them away with the shredder. According to the artist:

The Chrono_Shredder’s function is not to show the current moment, like a calendar. Instead, it shows the nearest future (the next day) — and all the time that has past from the time the device has been switched on. Whilst you spend your time in hibernation — the Chrono_Shredder messes up your space with wasted time!

Now that’s deep. Regardless, I think it’s a pretty cool idea. All she needs to do is use hamster power to operate it, and I’ll buy one.
