This is the Live Shock Clock. The hands of the clock are shocked by live audio input. It accesses any microphone connected to your computer.

One thing we trust about clocks is that, without fail, their hands will point directly at the correct time. With the Live Shock Clock, the hands still point at the time but they take a sound activated, roundabout trip to get there.

To use it, please accept the certificate your browser asks you to sign. Then the clock will access any mics you have installed.

Below are some renderings of what it would look like installed in public spaces.

I would also love to install these at airports around the world, networking the audio levels so people in one city can see how bustling another city might be at any hour of the day, giving additional meaning to time.
