ClockClock 9 departs from Humans since 1982’s signature artworks, the A million Times series, and reduces the amount of clock hands to a minimum, whilst at the same time staying true to the concept of its predecessors.
The leading objective for the development of ClockClock 9 was to break new grounds and distill the A million Times concept to its essence in order to cater the concept to a broader clientel. Equally important was to embed ClockClock 9 into Humans since 1982’s existing portfolio: following a pure form language with a premium finish whilst at the same time allowing for production in larger quantities and adaptability for future editions.
Resulting in a radically simplistc and from its predecessors clearly distinguishable product, ClockClock 9 embodies a sophisticated, modular approach and a complete new set of designed clock hands. The circular wall mounted shape forms the backdrop to 9 pairs of clock hands, performing choreographies alternating between abstract and synchronised movement patterns and showing the time like a traditional analogue clock. To further improve the users experience, an App was devloped in order to remotely control the artwork directly from a connected phone.
