This is the craziest innovation I have seen in a while. It’s a clock – but instead of having ticking hands, there is a guy behind the glass with a marker changing the time every minute by hand. Every minute passes and he erases the markings, then re-draws the new time.

Only thing is – there is no man behind the clock.

I suppose there WAS a man doing this, but it was in front of a camera. He must’ve taken a few hours doing nothing but drawing lines around the face of the clock.

So what you are seeing is a computer video of a guy drawing lines. Pretty cool, eh? Makes me think of how easy it would be to do that…

By the way – this clock was on display at Design Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009.

What time is it, Mr Fox? Well, now you can find out just by going to http://billychasen.com/clock/. And the best part is you can see people contorted in ways that you haven’t since high school.

It’s a simple flash script that displays a clock as done by Billy Chasen. He is an artist that takes science and technology to different levels as he turns them into art. The “Exploded iPod” encased in resin and the LCD monitor visualization fish tank are a couple creations.
