I fell in love with the simplicity of Felix Pfäffli’s Lucerne Cultural Centre Südpol poster immediately upon viewing it.

It was an extreme pleasure to be introduced to his work.

I want it...and I want to know how to do it. Two of my highest compliments.

A million times (Time Dubai) by Humans since 1982 from Humans since 1982 on Vimeo.

A Million Times is a kinetic art installation by Humans Since 1982, a Stockholm-based studio led by Per Emanuelsson and Bastian Bischoff. The 288 analog clocks, installed in a 24 x 12 clock rectangle (135.5 x 71 x 2 in.), are controlled via iPad and programmed using custom software. The two black arms of each white powder-coated clock slowly move to form visual patterns that transition into a functional digital clock interface. The piece is currently on display at the Victor Hunt gallery in Brussels.
