Last Clock

The Last Clock face portrays the last 12 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds as a never-ending abstract composition using a webcam.

Just like any analog clock, Last Clock has three hands: seconds, minutes and hours. The hands, however, are made of a pixel-wide slice of live video that gets scanned to the clockface. With different refresh rate for each hand, the three time circles reflect the rhythms of the space at different temporal resolutions.

Last Clock camera feed is streamed over the internet. Connecting to a meaningful remote location, one can see glimpses of the pace of the place together with the time, conveying a presence but not surveillance.
