This would be awesome if it was always spinning randomly and swirly but when it detected someone looking at it, it
would show the time until you stopped looking.

They sell this at the MoMA Design Store and it costs several thousand (unless this is a cheaper version of whatever
the original was). But it's super cool and I stood staring at it for a while and I wasn't even high.
theirs is more horizontal and costs 6k. There's a gold-handed version that costs closer to 10k.

I feel like there should just be a price where shipping should be free past it
permalink embed save parent report reply
$6k? LOL.
permalink embed save parent report reply
Agreed, the hardest part would probably be finding/making parts so that it looks nice (and each hand needs a
separate motor, probably unlike most off the shelf analog clocks). The programming would be extremely
straightforward.
permalink embed save parent report reply
Honestly, I’d buy it it i had the money rn. I’m a very minimalist person and this would be one of a few wall pieces i
would find acceptable
permalink embed save parent report reply
That is a ludicrously inflated price. Assuming you can code (big assumption, I know) you could easily make this
yourself for under $50 with an arduino and some cheap analog clock faces.
Really shouldn't be sold for more than $200, and I'd even call that expensive.

everything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I saw paintings for sale yesterday for $16,000. Good for the
artist if they can get someone to pay it.
permalink embed save parent report reply
This is an art piece, not to be treated as a consumer good, which is why they’re so expensive. The clock is incredibly
simple but very thoroughly and thoughtfully designed. The backing is usually a thick piece of solid material milled to
support the clock, too. There are clocks milled out of a 2” thick slab out aluminum.
Source: have worked with the artist, serviced the components and assisted with their clock installs in the US.
Edit: looks like no one has linked it yet. This full piece is called “A Million Times” by Humans since 1982.

"some motors" I imagine it would take 2 motors per tiny clock times a fuck ton. Or is there a smarter way to do this?
permalink embed save parent report reply
Probably not. Best bet would be cheap continuous rotation servos or maybe really small and cheap stepper motors.
would be a lot if work to wire and code though. Was thinking of building one of these, even have a rough build plan
and bill of materials but I didn't have the funding to complete the project (I still don't, but I didn't then either).
permalink embed save parent report reply
clocks work with one drive doing both hands but if you could do 2 motors per it would be faster because the hands
could go opposite directions to get to position faster.
permalink embed save parent report reply
There is a smarter way to do this. Specifically, there are only a few directions that a clock could end up facing. Some
sort of belt-based system should keep it relatively low cost and still looking random.
Even if you didn't it is still way way cheaper to just buy all of the motors than it would be to buy it properly.
permalink embed save parent report reply
some motors
That's an 8 x 12 array of clocks, 96 total, with 2 hands per clock, so 192 total motors. That's quite a few motors.
and an Arduino
Plus all the necessary expansion boards to drive 192 motors.

I made a javascript version which is interactive and lets you customise colours by adding hex arguments to the url like
?body=fff&hands=5a5a5a&background=fff . Projection is up to you!
