This is cool! Here’s a digital clock in which the digits are displayed by positioning the hands of 24 analogue clocks. I’m giving two links here: the clock was created last year by Humans Since 1982, which seems to be a duo of Swedish artists. Sorry to say, I didn’t find their website to be particularly informative. There’s a good set of photos of this clock in a post on a My Modern Met blog, including a video of the clock showing the transitions between numbers. Make sure you watch that!
Watch this for too long and your eyes could start spinning.
The blogs on MyModernMet.com are from various people posting photos and links of interesting and artistic devices, designs, and photographs. The whole My Modern Met clan seems pretty full of themselves (their self-description on their About page is “hip, intelligent, and cool trendsetters”), but you can enjoy the images without having to put up with the people. All of the posts I saw were reporting materials found elsewhere, and not the work of the posters themselves.
I’m adding the blogs sublink on the My Modern Met website link to my blogroll. There’s some fun material there, such as a surreal photo series combining Star Wars elements with the Dubai cityscape, and artsy furniture.
The enemy is among us . . .
You'd have to own some weird books to do full justice to this bookcase.
