Be Mesmerized by This Synchronized Clock Art Installation

Clockart

Stockholm-based design studio Humans Since 1982 has turned time into clock art, using the clock faces to demonstrate fluid motions and shapes that are striking and sure to keep you entranced for hours

Artists Per & Bastian used 288 single analog clocks to create a 11.3-foot-long installation, entitled "A Million Times." Each clock contains two separate motors to drive the minute and hour hands, creating the illusion of time "choreography."

"The clocks escape from its solely pragmatic existence," the artists said in a press statement. "Usually locked in its functionality to show the time, there is another natural character inherent in an analogue clock. With its two arms rotating around the center, a clock always dances in slow motion. Shaping out this hidden quality, without denying a clocks primary purpose, was our goal."
