ClockClock 24 by Humans since 1982 is both a kinetic sculpture art edition and functioning timepiece. It combines conceptual art with technical synchronized precision and expert craftsmanship. Each work is produced and carefully assembled in Humans since 1982's workshop in Stockholm, Sweden. Clock Forward and Humans since 1982 are committed to providing support for this work during and after its 2 year warranty.

CONCEPT
The ClockClock project started in 2008 by Per Emanuelsson and Bastian Bischoff. Inspired by the question "How to shape time", the university duo experimented with analog clock hands that would depict a changing, moving typography. They showed a mock-up to electrical engineer, Australian David Cox. Cox (also now part of Humans since 1982) helped the duo develop a prototype. A curator at the auction house Phillips de Pury took the work to Saatchi Gallery London and sold one to a Russian oligarch. Selling on the art market in a small edition number, ClockClock 24 was eventually created to reach a broader audience. We like to point out that this work is part of an ongoing series within a broader body of artistic work. Along with ClockClock 24, there are several other editions and commissions including the recent ClockClock L and the ongoing A million Times works. Please contact us for more information.

THE MOVEMENT
Twenty-four clocks come together to tell a collective story in one singular digital display. Each individual clock hand is choreographed in line with the others; the twenty-four clocks tell the time as a collective, rather than individually. The clocks transition from unpredictable spinning to synchronized alignment—visually representing both the concept of time and the literal display of time.ClockClock 24 can be programmed in 12-or 24-hour time format and can display three different modes of movement between each minute: minimal, medium or elaborate. Elaborate contains ten different choreographies shown over ten minutes on a loop.

THE BODY
ClockClock 24 is available in 6 editions: White, Grey, Black (950 works each); and Golden Hands (White or Black) and Noir (250 works each). The hands in the Golden Hands editions are 22k gold-plated. The clock body is made of Corian (acrylic polymer & mineral composite similar to granite). Please contact us for Corian samples (especially if you are debating between white and grey). Clock Clock 24 is 40lbs and for wall display only; it includes necessary wall mount hardware & accessories. The cord can be concealed by recessing the outlet.

MORE EDITIONS AVAILABLE
The ClockClock L is the next tier up in this series, and even larger scale works are available from the studio in the A million Times series. Please contact Kirk for more information.

CREATORS
Humans since 1982 is a interdisciplinary team based in Stockholm, Sweden that defies traditional art & design categorizations.

Their experiential installations and series works explore themes concurrent to their renowned kinetic sculpture clock artwork.

  • Cleaning
    • ClockClock 24 should be cleaned at least once every six months to avoid dust related build-up and issues in the electronics which may affect the warranty.
    • Before cleaning the ClockClock 24 you should stop the artwork. To stop the artwork press any of the three buttons for a minimum of 15 seconds, all the hands will point down to 6:30. The ClockClock 24 artwork will remain stopped until you press any of the three buttons once to restart. The clock hands will turn back into their initial position in the last selected mode.
    • Once the artwork is turned off, you can clean the surface of the artwork with a cloth lightly damped in warm soapy water, ammonia-based household cleaner, or a dedicated counter-top cleaner. Avoid using window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build-up that dulls the surface. Never spray liquids directly onto the artwork.
    • Wipe the surface of the artwork completely dry immediately after cleaning to prevent film build-up.
    • Use a feather duster or a can of compressed air to remove the dust from the surface more frequently. If some hands were misaligned during the cleaning, you can re-align described in 'Re-aligning the clock hands'.
  • Moving the clock

    Once the clock is switched off, remove the clock from the hanging plate, unplug the cable and place the clock on a soft surface.

  • Battery backup

    ClockClock 24 has a built-in battery that keeps track of time in case of a power cutage, so you don't need to reset the time. Once the power is back on, it will resume with the current time.

  • Sound during operation

    The ClockClock 24 does not make any noticeable noise; however, the movement sound may be noticeable in very quiet settings. We do not recommend installing it in a bedroom or any room where absolute silence is important. We find it interesting that some customers expect clocks to be silent—when this was never the case with mechanical clocks.

  • Where not to display
    • Do not install in rooms with high humidity or outdoors.
    • Do not place the artwork where it could incur unintentional knocks or pulling of the cable.
    • Avoid direct heat radiation, for example heat from radiators
    • Avoid direct sunlight
    • Though quiet, not for use in areas where absolute silence is required.
  • Samples & return policy

    We have Corian samples we can mail if you are deciding between white, grey or black editions.

    Clock Forward does not accept returns for ClockClock 24. We feel all our customers deserve a new unused work and each time the work is shipped increases the risk of damaging the artwork.
