Life Clock

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on October 1, 2008 at 2:40 pm


Artist Bertrand Planes slowed down a typical clock mechanism 61,320 times and re-numbered the clock face, so each minute represents a year, to show how many more years are left in a typical life. Link – via Swissmiss

    looking at that for some movement would be like watching paint dry.

    I guess it could also be kind of like reincarnation cause it starts again after it hits 0.

    If it was a minute a year, wouldn't it still go up to 60? Or 59 then 0, if you're being even more pedantic.

    So is a normal clock sort of like a "Dog life clock?"

    Plug it in once a year and save electricity.

    Yikes! It's about 4 o'clock for me. Does that mean I only have an hour left of work. Wait, now I'm confused...

    I already have a clock like that at the back of my skull. Do not need real life version.

    Ah, I wondered what that was at the back of your skull, violet.

    boring because it would never really move.. do people really need a clock to remind them their age?

    Glad I'm not the only one thinking this is depressing. "Hey loser! You only have 35 minutes left to DO something with your life!"
