Hand Written Clock

a3buster writes "This clock does not actually have a man inside, but a flatscreen that plays a 24-hour loop of this video by the artist watching his own clock somewhere and painstakingly erasing and re-writing each minute. This video was taken at Design Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009."

    Not to worry. He comes out. At night. And watches you sleep. When he can see that your breathing is deep and even, he collects your tears with a thin glass needle.

    Well then I wonder how Idle made front page.

    Adjust your Slashdot homepage to not include Idle, then.

    IMHO, the INDUSTORIOUS CLOCK [sic] is the coolest handwritten timekeeper:

    That's still my favorite, although some prefer Human Clock:

    That one requires occasional thought, which makes it suboptimal for a quick time check. Yes, I am that lazy. =-)

    1 hour... he only needed to do it for 1 hour.

    No. You notice how he cleaned up around the minute hand? Specifically, how he cleaned the juncture between the minute hand and hour hand? If the hour hand were in a different position, he wouldn't have been able to do that and keep the illusion.
