On this "MOBILE ART WATCH project", we distribute works through a mobile phone in collaboration with Crypton Future Media. You can download the pieces on the official site of Crypton Future Media with a mobile phone utilizing Au or SoftBank (only in Japan), and use them as a watch on your phone. The 9th edition of the series is created by TEN (ten_do_ten), who is a Japanese graphic designer who designs only pixel, as TEN suggests pixel in Japanese.
The watch will be released on February 12th.

TEN created 3 different wathes: "doggy_time" - a pixel dog with a red tongue tells you the time by flashing digital eyes - and 2 different versions of classical&digital "12_zoo_time" watches, applying the seasonal hours that was used in Edo era in Japan with each of the twelve horary sign.
