Humans Since 1982 Launch the Kinetic ClockClock 9

Humans since 1982, a.k.a. Bastian Bischoff and Per Emanuelsson, have added to their ongoing project – ClockClock – with ClockClock 9. Parts art, design and technology, the kinetic piece is comprised of nine pairs of clock hands mounted to a mineral composite housing. As the hands move through their choreography, you’ll notice they do so both independently and in formation as they continuously alternate between abstract and synchronized movements.
